Students at Rowan University this fall will be able to reduce stress and homesickness by visiting with therapy dogs on campus.

Businessman Gerald Schreiber, of J&J Snack Foods Corp. of Pennsauken, has donated $3 million to the university to establish The Schreiber Family Pet Therapy Program of Rowan University.

The gift will establish a self-sustaining program to bring up to five certified therapy dogs to the Glassboro campus five days a week.

The permanent program will expand upon “Paws for a Break,” a once-a-month venture that had become so popular among students that a line of more than 100 people would be waiting to visit with the animals each month, said Dr. David Rubenstein, Rowan’s vice president for Health & Wellness.

The timeline between June 6, 1944, till Rowan University, June 6, 2019, we have witnessed the destruction of the American male. A tip of the hat to the Democrat party, feminism and liberalism in general.

I manage a bunch of millennials Nah... just try to take away anything from them... massive hissy fits ensues... they all own guns..

Push them enough, they would respond with a measure of violence necessary to get their puppies back. They are definitely not boomers or gen x, just different.

I work for a stock brokerage. The job can be a bit high stress but I like it.

I was having a stressful day and left my desk for a few minutes. In the lobby of our building was an animal rescue group that had a few puppies available for petting. I dropped $5 in their donation box and picked up a puppy.

The puppy (a Shepherd Lab mix) was tired and almost immediately fell asleep after I picked it up. I walked around in the lobby for about 5-10 minutes just carrying the puppy in my arms.

I felt better after doing this. I can’t fault anyone who wants to find a bit of relief from petting a dog or holding a kitten. There are worse ways to find relief these days.
