Not to interrupt, but I sent a few emails to this list, and have 
not received replies.  Is there a spot to make sure the emails 
went through.
Like a notification if the post was sent?

Subject: [nabs-l] This is a message for Jewel regarding Workshops 
for theProfessors at Colleges and Universities

Hi Jewel, this is Helga.  How are you? Remember when I did my 
research paper regarding “Are Visually Impaired College 
Students Descriminated Against?,” and I ask you, if you could 
give me yur life testimony in how does your college helps yu and 
all that? And yu actually told me that your college does 
Workshops where they teach Professors how to teach  a Blind 
student, or  a visually impaired student, and they actually 
receive credit hours for attending the workshops as well! 
Actually you told me that for the powerpoints the professor 
places a description of the picture underneath it, and etc.  I 
just wanted to ask you, do you know who is in charge in 
organizing these workshops for the professors in order to teach a 
blind or visually impaired student, and could yu give me their 
contact number in order to talk to them regarding this? And also, 
Would it be possible for yu to give me the contact number of your 
DSS adviser, and the DSS office in order to ask them what kind of 
accomodations they give a blind or visually impaired student for 
his or her class, and also how do they provide these 
accomodations for them? I’m just wondering, since my college 
does not have any of these workshops in order to educate 
professors in how to teach a blind or visually impaired student, 
and I’m actually having some difficulties in my classes because 
I actually need to explain to my professors in how they can give 
me my assignments and providing them!, since I’m a blind 
student.  I really enjoy doing that, but I’m not suppose to do 
so, my college is suppose to train them about it.  Just to let 
you know, my DSS adviser doesn’t coperate with me in giving my 
assignments in Braill, and I have a lot of issues with her.  
However, even though I have many issues with her, I would like to 
inform her about these workshops, and I actually would like to 
start one in my college.  That is why I ask yu for the contacts 
and who can I talk about this.  Also, could you tell me the name 
of yur college? Just curious! I will really appreciate it  a lot, 
if yu could help me and give me some suggestions regarding this.  
Hope to hear from yu soon! Thanks so much and God bless!!
P.S.  By the way, if you want you can contact me on the list, or 
off list.  Whatever yu prefer Ok? Thanks again for all your 
time!!
