What’s better than a little breakfast food at 5 p.m.? How about being served the heaping portion by a member of the College of Law faculty or staff as a stress reliever before finals week?

French toast, home fries, bacon and eggs were all on the menu for the Dec. 6.

“With finals starting next week, we wanted to show our student body that we’re here to support them and wish them well on their exams,” says Tomas Gonzalez, assistant dean of student life. “What better way than with a hot meal and a smile?”

Gonzalez conceived the idea earlier this year after some students suggested that they were feeling stressed out at this time of year with final exams approaching. He also implemented Wellness Wednesdays, which offers weekly complimentary back massages and healthy solutions to help law students manage stress.
