[NABS-L] Announcing the Winners of the #StudentAccessMoments Competition

[Sami Osborne]

Hi Justin,

Wow! That's so awesome! Congratulations to everyone who won!

Just curious, is there some way for us to actually listen to those videos? Fortunately for me, I haven't run into too many accessibility barriers at my college, since my schools were always very accommodating with me and all my needs. However, I'm very curious to hear everyone's stories, and I'm sure others would be as well. It's possible these stories might also help institutions improve their accessibility mandates in the future. Therefore, I think it would be nice if there is a way for the public to view these inspiring stories.

Thanks for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and congratulations once again to all the winners!

Sami
