VMI Helps Cadets Fight Stress With Coloring Books, Therapy Dogs

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Daily Caller:

The Virginia Military Institute (VMI), the oldest state-supported military college in the United States, has declared war on cadet stress — with coloring books and therapy dogs.

 

According to the Washington Free Beacon, it’s all part of the “Stress Busters” program designed to for help students “unwind and relax” through experimentation that includes yoga, therapy dogs and coloring book stations.

 

The news was gleaned from VMI’s website but shortly after the Free Beacon broke the story Tuesday morning, the details disappeared online. Though the Stress Busters program is referenced, no explanation is offered as to how the stress is busted.

 

As one college alumnus told the Beacon, “VMI once took America’s youth and prepared them for duty and the harsh realities of war. Now, for $20k a year, VMII will turn your teenagers back into children.”
