[nabs-l] High school outreach

[rachel Jacobs]

I think that is a great idea. I think blind high school students would 
really benefit from blind college students showing them around campus. I 
think it would give them a sense of security knowing that they too can get 
around college while being blind. I just don't know how this would happen. 
It is a great idea though!
