Changes

Through simple, human-centered interventions like rest zones, coffee gatherings, de-stress kits, and therapy animal sessions, UPCRest helps students decompress, recharge, and sustain their performance in a supportive environment.

*Create safe, inclusive spaces for students to rest and recover physically and mentally during exam weeks.

*Integrate wellness as a consistent element of the academic experience at UPC, complementing counseling and academic services.

*'''Post-Exam Coffee Silent Raves:''' Host energizing, music-filled coffee gatherings after exams to help students decompress, connect, and celebrate completing their tests.

*'''Animal Therapy Sessions:''' Organize visits with trained therapy animals during finals week to reduce anxiety and lift morale.
