In the bitter cold of winter, the University of Saint Francis Student Nursing Association is inviting the community to join them for a polar plunge. The 3rd Annual Cougar Chill will take place on Thursday, February 18 at 4 p.m. at Mirror Lake on the USF main campus, 2701 Spring Street.

The Cougar Chill originated to honor a USF nursing student who is also a burn survivor, and the frigid swim has become a popular winter event on campus. USF students, faculty and staff participate in the event, and the community is also invited to join the chilly dip.

To learn more about being part of the Cougar Chill, contact Shannon Sewell at swells or René Depew at rdepew.
