LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014Transylvania is expanding its annual Stress Fest from one day to a full week of events designed to help students reduce the pressure of their finals and end-of-term projects. Offerings include a Relaxation Station\u2014with free 10-minute massages from Lexington\u2019s Solar Massage\u2014and a dog petting room, which was suggested by Student Government Association President Charli Fant.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe wanted to give students multiple opportunities, so, if at any point during the high-stress time at the end of the term, they wanted to go out and relieve some of that, they had the chance,\u201d said Amy Jo Gabel, director of student involvement and leadership.\n<\/p>\n
\nOther events include basketball games, a Gift of Holiday concert, an improv comedy show and morning yoga classes.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf students need to blow off some steam, listen to music or just have someone rub your shoulders, we\u2019ve got it,\u201d Gabel said.<\/p>\n
