  FYI..I don't know if a lot of folks received this in the mail...This looks
like a GREAT course and some of the instructors are disability studies
scholars.  I may not be able to go due to other obligations and funding. I
want to go and support the disability speakers and learn a thing or two!
Please pass the information to your peers and co-workers.  I hope some of
you will attend.
