3. Guest Speaker: Derrick Watson – Following Your Passion    

It was a great presentation by Derrick.  He talked about this was an active process and that it needed to be about YOU.  Know your skills and talents and don't be afraid to THINK BIG!!!!

Thanks again, Derrick!

~ Part of that passion or finding out what you want to do can be facilitated by those at Career Services.  Suzy Shotts from CS was here to talk about those options, which include workshops, help with resumes and interviewing, and a listing of internships & career opportunities.  They are free and open to all students.  Go to the Career Services website.

4. People Project – John Meister

A photo project where we showcase people at CU Boulder and possibly in the community, disabled or not, student, faculty, staff, or community member, and highlighted them.  We need to form a committee to come up with the criteria, nomination & selection process, someone to interview the person and write their bio, as well as someone to photograph them.  Then we will frame and mat those pics and bios to be hung in the Disability Services hallway.
Those interested in participating are: Gerard, Amy, Kelly K., Annabel, Meghan, & Priscilla.
First meeting will be next Wed (Feb 9) in this room at 5.

Good evening Karen,

On behalf of my students and I, a hearty thank you to you and your students for sharing their perspectives and experiences with regard to the built campus environment. I could tell students were truly inspired by their authentic narratives and their great sense of humor.

I hope this will be the beginning of a integral relationship between the Office of Disability Services and the College of Architecture and Planning.

With much appreciation and sincerity!
