Dear President Munson and Provost Haefner,
“ ... So, what’s your major?” That's probably the second question you ask when you meet someone new, right after, "What’s your name?" Once you’re out of college-land, this harmless question will grow up to be, “So ... what do you do?” And how will you answer this question? Why, with your job of course! Which, hopefully, will sound very similar to how you answered the previous inquiry in college.

Accessibility is a quintessential component for quality of life. Last year, I recall listening to a provocative conference keynote address by Patricia Moore on the humanity of design in its present state. Sitting in Booth’s Webb Auditorium, the crowd of students was eagerly poked and prodded by her piercing words as Moore shed light on the current weaknesses of the industry — areas of opportunity for us all in the crowd.
