The goal of the program was to spread positivity and excitement on campus during academically challenging times, and allowing students to learn that they are smart, successful, and cared about on the Mines campus.  The target audience was undergraduate students who are taking the calculus I & II common exams. Calculus is often regarded as a difficult class, so spreading positive vibes after such an
exam was valuable. More than 880 cookies were distributed. The atmosphere was wonderful. Students were very excited about the treat and some stopped to learn more about peer education at Mines.
