Small gestures of compassion go a long way, Chico State students, alumni get in on the act
Last Tuesday, when I saw Liz Thrasher Wheatley, an alumna of Chico State, and Alyssa Kinnier, a senior, sitting on the lawn at the Trinity Commons, formerly the Free Speech Area, with a homemade sign that said “You are VALUABLE (+ loved!),” I felt like my previously cloudy day was suddenly bright and cheery. They were sending good vibes my way, without asking anything in return. That’s a rare gesture in today’s world and I appreciated it more than they probably knew.
