What an incredible semester it has been! Congratulations to all students, staff, faculty, volunteers, and of course our outstanding Campus Canine Handling teams💙🦮🐾 We have had the most extraordinary canine-student interactions across library visiting hours and Market Day tabling events these past few months! We cannot wait to help more students, educate more people, and reach more areas of campus in the fall! See you then!!!🐶

Special thank yous to our student coordinators this semester: Lyla Blanchard, Ava Costello, Jennie Tran, and Madi Noel.

And thank you to the UNF library for giving us such a reliable and supportive space to help students!
