Called a PASS kit, first-year students at the University of Waterloo will receive a package which includes a squeezable stress star, ear plugs, a sleeping mask, a pack of gum and a deck of 25 flash cards with steps a person can take when they are experiencing anxiety or stress symptoms. The university purchased 7,100 kits for this year's newcomers. The developer of the kit says they're meant to help students manage their anxiety, especially those coping with the transition from high school to university.
