Sensory Social
Rohrbach Library is partnering with the Disability Services Office to host a Sensory Social for Kutztown University's Neurodiversity Celebration Week, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, March 6, 28 Rohrbach. Come make a sensory stone, sensory stress ball, explore other sensory toys/fidgets and socialize over snacks. We hope to help ease feelings of stress as we head into mid-terms while celebrating our neurodiverse community at KU. The event is open to all students, faculty and staff. We hope you will stop in.
