Start a Therapy Animal Program at the University of New England

Start a Therapy Animal Program at the University of New England

The Issue

I wish to start a program that brings animals to campus to alleviate stress. Service animals bring a joy to students who undergo extreme stress during exams. The University of New England currently does not allow Therapy Animals in any buildings on campus I would like to change this and create an organized program to bring animals onto campus. For a University with an animal based major, which they pride themselves in, they are very restrictive towards any animal contact with students. I want to change that. Please help so I may work with administration in creating this program, which has seen success all over the country.
