MOLINE, IL -- Western Illinois University-Quad Cities will host a range of events and activities for "Manage Your Stress Week" Monday-Thursday, May 1-4, a WIU-QC tradition that occurs the week before final exams. WIU-QC Student Services, the Student Government Association and various student organizations collaborate to offer a range of relaxing and engaging activities to help faculty, staff and students to de-stress for the week to come.

"My first Manage Your Stress Week was this last fall and I was surprised about all the activities being offered. Now, as Vice President of the WIU-QC Student Government Association, I am excited I get to offer ideas and help plan Manage Your Stress Week this Spring"
