Welcome back Cougs!

I hope everyone enjoyed their three-day weekend. I definitely needed that extra day off as midterms start this week.

If you need a way to destress while working on exams, projects or other assignments, I found a few things to do around campus and the Palouse that will give your brain a break.

Enjoy, and good luck!
