We had a good start to our Fall semester, reconnecting with old friends like Ned, Margot, and Michael, and some new ones to our FIG. We updated each other on how various areas of work have been coming along, such as accommodations and changes at Access Ability Services (AAS), including the renewed CUNY focus on providing appropriate accommodations and Universal Design for Learning. We also discussed advocacy for changes in NY State education law, and employment options in education for Melissa Riggio students. Michael Lettman talked about his alumni transition, and his search for an internship in education, including possible work at the 9-11 museum, which seems like a great change to build his resume and gain experience as an educator and disability advocate. Also congratulations to Margot for being such a leader on her campus at PSU Harrisburg!

Here is a video of our FIG meeting, in case you missed it or wanted to review:
