Student Affairs offers help during final exams
April 26, 2019

The first day of final exams has arrived on Bellarmine University's campus, surely
bringing some anxiety and sleep deprivation with it. Bellarmine offers services to
help students cope with the stress of final exams through recreation programs, health
and wellness support, counseling, food, free massages, therapy dogs and more. "Your
wellness is important," said Dr. Helen-Grace Ryan, Bellarmine's Vice President for
student affairs. "Get some exercise, make time for quality sleep, eat healthy, stay
hydrated and get some fresh air. Know you can always ask for help. And if you
see a fellow Knight having a hard day, reach out and extend to them support and kindness,
in the truest sense of Bellarmine hospitality." Resources:Counseling Center in Nolen C. Allen HallHours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Request an appointment online or by phone at 502-272-8480. For emergencies after normal office hours or during
