"Each of us is touched by disability - ours or someone else's, temporarily or permanently, visible to others or invisible," said University of Vermont Interim President, Edwin I. Colodny. "These changes in our abilities can happen at any time, to any person. The impact, whether occasional, frequent, or ongoing, becomes part of one's life." The University of Vermont is once again hosting Deaf and Disability Awareness Month. Now in its fifth year, Deaf & Disability Awareness Month is a month-long series of workshops, speakers, and activities aimed at heightening awareness and increasing knowledge of deafness and disabilities in both the University and the broader Burlington community. We believe that this program supports the University's commitment and policy of equal opportunity, access, and diversity. We invite you to offer your support.
