SLU OT Students Volunteer at the St. Louis Senior Center




Love was in the air this Valentine's Day, as a group of MOT 1 students volunteered their time at the St. Louis Senior Center, Valentine celebration. The day consisted of an early morning fitness class, a vow renewal ceremony, dancing to live music, and a large St. Louis style lunch.

The center acts as a place for older adults in the St. Louis area to come for a variety of daily events in order to socially interact with others. SLU's OT students benefited from the event by learning about various programs available to local older adults. The interaction with older adults brought students great joy and gave them a glimpse of the needs of this population.
