It’s spring, and once again
Massage Therapy students at
Alvin Community College will
be offering sessions on campus.
Starting at only $25 for a one-

be getting a great deal while
helping to give these students
valuable experience.
Massages will be offered from
9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., beginning
March 18, so virtually everyone
can find a time to come in and
relax. Sessions be held each day
in C-219 on the Alvin campus.
