A Canadian student and her service dog are behind a drive to ensure Queen's University's creates new legislation to allow students to have assistance animals in halls of residence.
Lauren Moore has a list of proposals she believes would make life better at Queen's University and one close to her heart is working out how to have service animals in student accommodation to help students with their mental health.
She said: “We - myself and Emma my service dog - are running for student welfare officer in the Student Union for Queen's University. If elected I want to look into many aspects of improving mental health and specifically having service animals in student accommodations to help students.
"I am currently in the Senior Status Law Program at Queen’s, graduating in 2023 and live with an anxiety disorder and depression so I understand the difficulties students face with their wellness journey while away at uni.
"Having already completed another degree, with a Double Major in Law and Politics, I have a lot of experience in adjusting to University life and would be happy to help students do the same in any way I can.
