College is hard enough for the “average” student. Learning how to balance the academic pressures of multiple classes, with trying to maintain a social life, and possibly work and family obligations, all while trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be….these are some of the hugest existential challenges any of us can go through in early adulthood. For some unique students who may be dealing with additional personal challenges, whether with their physical or mental health, or perhaps a developmental disability or some physical limitation, dealing with these added stressors and impairments can make focusing on academics and staying on track even more difficult. But they don’t have to be barriers to achieving your goals and dreams. We are here today to discuss the mental, social, and emotional impact of going through college as someone with limitations. We are joined by Yolanda Price-Mitchell, Disability Coordinator at LSUS. And we also have two special guests with us who are a testament to resilience! Bianca Stakes, a graduate of LSUS who is also staff member here in our media department. And current student Tanton Stanford. Both are here to share their experience and leave us with a sense of hope!
