JEFFERSON CITY — Lincoln University opened a new place for students to take a break and relax on Tuesday.

The Zen Den has been a concept since last year for the 90th Student Government Association Assembly and has been carried on by the 91st.

"It did take a year to go ahead and get because anything good takes time," said Asia Duncan, assistant director of student affairs.

However, this room wasn't the idea of university staff: The Zen Den was built for the students, by the students.

"I feel like our students wanted to fight against that stigma of not wanting to help yourself," Duncan said. "Our president made a good quote earlier that 'self-care is not selfish,' and I feel like a lot of people focus on that, unfortunately, in college."
