Through physical activity and playing club sports, student members of the Special Olympics Club can interact with athletes in the community who have intellectual disabilities.

Adviser Diane Baldwin said she started the club in 2019 since “there’s nothing for athletes with intellectual disabilities after high school (to do),” like her daughter who has Down syndrome.

“This is a way for them to come in and recreate,” Baldwin said. “It’s just a lot of fun. This is my warm and fuzzy (feeling) for the day.”

To provide support to Special Olympics, Baldwin said the club provides the chance for Penn State students to bond with the athletes and those with disabilities.
