A Message from Peter Greenwood:
I want to take a brief moment of your time to introduce myself. My name is Peter Greenwood and I am the president of Accessibility Advocates. I have been a member for the last two semesters and am now thrilled to take on a leadership role.
I am a Senior majoring in psychology; I am not exactly sure what I plan to do after graduating, but something to do with health and disability issues seems likely. Due to a battle with bone cancer from the age of 18-21, my left leg was amputated above the knee. Since I lost my leg I have tried to find a new balance in life. This hasn't been easy, but one thing I know gives me more balance is working for greater accessibility for students with disabilities, as well as more disability awareness from the general student body. Through Accessibility Advocates I have become much more aware of the vast variety of individuals with various disabilities on this campus. That being said, I not only want to work towards making campus more accessible for students with disabilities, but I also want make students without disabilities more aware of the issues students with disabilities face. This will make for a more welcoming and understanding environment for all.
