The Adele H. Stamp Student Union is, to many students, the hub of the University of Maryland. “Stamp”, as it is commonly referred to, is home to a Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and many more popular restaurants. But as the semester comes to an end, Stamp shifts from a fun place to shop and eat into a Study Zone. Throughout the week leading up to finals, free methods of relaxation are provided in addition to the already available recreational activities in Stamp.
As part of Stamp’s Study Zone transformation from Dec. 2nd-16th, students are able to play with dogs with Wags for Wellness, paint with Bob Ross, and bowl late at night in TerpZone. Stamp provides so many different outlets for stress as students make their push to finish the semester strong.
