The new year has started with such a bang, that I haven't been able to post in quite some time. I have begun my assistanceship at the University of Louisville in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Office of Civic Engagement, Leadership and Service. I am enthralled with both positions and excited to leave my mark on the campus by facilitating campus assessment and programming in my new position.
The advent of 2008 brought a new governor to Kentucky, Steve Beshear. Gov. Beshear has articulated the Commonwealth is in a severe budget crisis, so my challenge as MWKY 2008 will be to stress the need for continuity in funding and support for the many initiatives in the works to enhance quality of life for Kentucky's disabled. I plan to travel to Frankfort several times over the next few months to speak out about the importance of independent living options, affordable, barrier free housing alternatives and higher education funding.
