HAPPEE (Hugs and Pups Posse- Encouraging and Empowering) provides support for college students, one hug at a time! Volunteers are organized into small groups with one pup each to walk around campus and bring the warm fuzzies these students are missing! We offer “mom hugs” and uplifting words of encouragement to students who may be struggling or who just miss home and need that boost!

👏 👏 👏 We are smacking our hands for you!! So proud of all of you. If you *should* be graduating but aren’t just yet, we’re proud of YOU too. You’ve all accomplished so much just by getting here, showing up and giving it your best. That looks different for everyone. ❤️❤️❤️ You’re amazing!
