Dawson's first Self-care Fair took place in Conrod's on Mar. 27. Hundreds of students popped in to enjoy a beverage in the sunny and calm tea bar, draw and paint, listen to music, and self-soothe through touch, taste, sight, sound and smell. Many thanks to Campus Life and Mental Health Services staff who planned this hugely popular activity!
