The occupational therapy students are adapting toys this year to envision the ways that assistive technology facilitates participation, independence, and autonomy. We could use your help collecting toys for this project! The toys do need to be battery-operated or pluggable and they cannot be stuffed. Think trains, robots, and interactive busy boards! If you or your family has a plethora of forgotten battery-operated toys, please consider bringing some to donate. We are collecting donations in Weyerhaeuser Hall 204 during the month of November!
We will be introducing the basketball teams and the swim teams to kick off the winter sports season. There will be a dunk contest, a 3 point contest, half court shot for one luck participant and costume contest! KUPS will be providing music and there will be giveaways!
