[NFBMO] Join Us: Missouri Association of Blind Students Spring Student Seminar [Details Enclosed]

[Seyoon Choi]

Greetings,

I hope the month of April is off to a bright start. My name is Seyoon Choi, and I’ve been honored to serve as the president of the Missouri Association of Blind Students, a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri. The purpose of this organization is to promote the integration of blind students as equal participants in schools, to encourage students who are blind to seek the necessary
resources to achieve their professional goals in order to compete on an equal basis with
sighted peers, to serve as the vehicle for collective action for blind students for security, equality and opportunity in academia. Our blind student leaders were hard at work to bring this student led seminar into action,  taking place along side the 61st convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri’s convention at the Hilton St. Louis Airport, located at 10330 Natural Bridge Rd. St. Louis, MO.

The student led seminar, themed Finding Your Path Forward, is the perfect opportunities for blind students and their families to learn, network, and mentor from one another. Whether you’re a high school senior getting ready to take that giant step forward into higher education, a longtime cane user who may be thinking of taking a new path forward with a guide dog, or are looking to find your way forward with a more independent lifestyle through one of the National Federation of the Blind
’s fantastic training centers, our seminar will have something for everyone! Join us as we hear from many fantastic panelists and presenters about how we as blind people can find our own way forward to live the lives we want.

Interested in joining us? There is no cost to you, but we do ask that you register in advance or at the door, so we could plan accordingly. Meal will be provided.

-- 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.
