On 'Palentine's Day,' students with disabilities find fun and community
Valentine’s Day can be a downer for some college students, especially those who feel isolated because of physical, mental or emotional disabilities.
But at Sac State’s Disability Cultural Center, everyone felt welcomed and loved. It was “Palentine’s Day,” a time to celebrate diversity, friendship and acceptance.
Throughout the day, visitors to the center were greeted with hearty welcomes and snacks, and socialized in a common area.
“This event gives our student population a nice place to come together, build community, and make new friends," said Shannon Brown, who coordinates social events for the center.
