> Hi. I just wanted to share with you that there is a recent story about the
> work of the department I direct at Bethel University in their magazine for
> alumni, parents, and friends. One interesting twist on this is that the
> Marketing and Communications folks asked if they should mention that I am
> blind. I did not tell them what to do. I suggested that if they would
> mention that another administrator is from South Africa, is a woman, or is
> African-American, then they could go ahead and mention it. I'm not ashamed
> of it, but just wanted them to apply the same approach as they would in
> stories about others. Here is the link to the story. Stephanie, who is
> mentioned in the story, was one of the students with whom I worked. Visit
> http://www.bethel.edu/publications/focus/winter-2009/features/access-eqaulity-change
>
>
> The main point of this story is about reconciliation and how it applies to
> people with disabilities. I thought some of you may want to also get more
> of a glimpse of work done by folks in disability services in higher
> education.
