| News

Webster Centre staff invites the campus community to receive free hugs on Tuesday, February 8 when they revive a campaign started two years ago.

The 'FREE HUGS Campaign' is a social movement that began in Australia and involves individuals giving hugs to strangers in public places. The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness to make others feel better. The Webster Centre joined the campaign in 2009 when they offered free hugs to students, staff, and faculty as shown in this .

This year's event will take placeTuesday, February 8, 2011 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm, outdoors at the centre of campus, and near the W. A. Murphy Student Centre, Kelley Memorial Building, and Main Building.
