College applications: A helping hand from someone who knowsCaleb Michael Yang
College applications are truly the biggest challenges between high school and the dream, but how do you battle through the essays, numerous pages of information, and time zone differences?
Dissertation Defense: An Exploration of the Lived Experiences of College Stud...Jackie Koerner
My dissertation defense of An Exploration of the Lived Experiences of College Students with Disabilities
The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the experiences of students with disabilities during attendance at four-year degree granting higher education institutions.
While society has greatly progressed from lifetime institutionalization of individuals with disabilities, the focus now needs to include supporting rights and integrating individuals with disabilities into the community so they may fulfill their ideal roles within society. The benefits of including students with disabilities in the higher education environment reach beyond the individuals themselves. Students with disabilities can achieve success in higher education; society on the whole, however, needs to support their needs as learners.

Renegotiating Reciprocity - Supporting People with Disabilities in Contributi...Aaron Johannes
We all want to contribute, and we are all necessary to co-create an effective and whole community. I often think of the Australian Aboriginal elders who, when people with disabilities were returned, their names and totems and tribes forgotten, said "We knew something was missing from the Whānau [the whole extended family]." Much of my work lately has been about remembering that we all belong, that we already know each other, and that we each have a mission of contribution to share, which often incorporates rebellion and innovation which, perhaps, can be negotiated within our larger social systems if we can be clear and certain.
