College Fair 2011
The Wisconsin Educational Services Program for the Deaf
and Hard of Hearing, Outreach (WESP-DHH Outreach)
sponsored a College Fair this October with the Wisconsin
Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (WCBVI)
Outreach. The College Fair was held for one day each
in four cities: Holmen (near LaCrosse), Marathon (near
Wausau), Milwaukee and in Janesville at WCBVI.
Colleges and Universities from across Wisconsin, as well
as Gallaudet University and several resource agencies
participated in one or all four of the locations. Students who
are Deaf, hard of hearing, Deafblind, blind, and visually
impaired were invited to attend, as were their teachers,
classes, other interested staff, interpreters, and families.
Christopher Woodfill represented WSD at all four locations
and was impressed with the interest from both schools
and agencies. Each location had an Independent Living
Center local agency representative. Each location had a
representative from the Office for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing (ODHH) as well as Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation (DVR). In addition, the Center for DeafBlind
Individuals in Milwaukee attended, as did Vision Forward
(formerly Badger Association of the Blind), and two
student representatives for Blind Students Organization.
This year, the College Fair also had a schedule of events
including a presentation by the Office for Deaf and Hard
of Hearing, a “New Technology for Blind and Visually
Impaired Students” by WCBVI, Lee Gamble, several by
the DVR representative, and premiere showings of two
DVD’s. One of the movies was titled: “Becoming 18 in
Wisconsin” by Christopher Woodfill, and the other was
“ACT accommodations, FAFSE, and Scholarships” by
Leslie Eldred. These DVD’s were made in ASL and were
open-captioned and had voice over so that everyone who
viewed them had access to communication.
Look for WSD to be a host site for this College Fair next
fall, and for a newer, bigger and better schedule of events.
