On April 9, UT Tyler hosted Destress Fest to provide activities for students to take a break from studying.
“I thought Destress Fest was a really cool way of giving students an opportunity to relax and enjoy each other’s company while doing fun things!” Millie Jeske, a Destress Fest attendee said.
Some students came to the event’s petting zoo where they could pet a horse and cuddle with a piglet and bunny.
