The Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (COSAP) is hosting an event called Lobo Ladies’ Night: A night of fun, food, and relaxation on Thursday, November 13th from 6:00pm-8:00pm as an extension of the DOLLs (Diary of a Lady Lobo) program. This event is com-pletely free to students and will include free services including massages, hair stylists, and a yoga session as well as free food, games from other UNM departments, and a fun do-it-your-self project! National studies have shown that the rate of binge drinking in women is on the rise, so the purpose of this event is to provide relaxing alternatives to drinking. School can be stressful, so we’re putting on this event to give students a chance to relax, combat stress, and have some fun! There will be plenty of activities and a crazy amount of door prizes, so we hope to see everyone there!
