Hi Ashley,

 

I  am unfortunately not able to come this afternoon.  However, I  just want
you to know how cool I  think it is that you are engaged in this
competition!  I'm not sure everyone appreciates how forward-looking you are
in your approach to advocacy.  It's not always about large campaigns and
glitz and glitter - it's about "drops" of information and impacting one
heart and mind at a time.  Your friends in the Chapter support you with love
and thoughts while you continue to make life better for blind people.  Best
of luck this afternoon!

Hi All,

 

Somehow Ashley's previous attempt to get this on the list serve did not work
- please try to support her by attending if you can!

Hi everyone,

I'm in the finals for the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition. This is a
competition where researchers share their dissertation work in 3 minute or
less lightening talks in a dramatized and daily language friendly way. I
couldn't have made it without you all as your stories are what my
dissertation is based on so the further I get in this competition the more
people will know about the difficulties blind people face in STEM so we can
raise awareness! I would appreciate it if you helped me raise this awareness
by attending on Wednesday February 4th from 4-5:30pm at Oregon State
Memorial Union (MU) Journey Room (104).

Ashley
