> 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

> 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.
