As
fall quarter finals approach, Brain Fuel Week returns to help students combat stress. From Nov. 11 - 20, DePaul will host a number of events to help students de-stress, focus and stay fueled.
Week-long events
From Nov. 11-15, students can hunt for rubber ducks across campus. When a student finds a rubber duck, they can bring it to the front desk of the office or building where they found it to receive a free self-care bag.
Games, puzzles and coloring also will be available the entire week at both the Loop Campus and John T. Richardson Libraries.
