Website Resource for College Students with Disabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to share with you the link to the We Connect Now website:
\n http:\/\/weconnectnow.wordpress.com\/<\/a>. The website was created while I
\nwas a college student with a grant I received from YP4 to develop a
\nwebsite to serve college students with disabilities. The website was
\ndeveloped in an effort to connect and integrate college students with
\ndisabilities as a virtual community with a voice on important issues.
\nThe We Connect Now website has been up and serving college students
\nwith disabilities since April of 2008.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share the We Connect Now website with you so that you may
\npost it as a resource in your website or otherwise share it with
\nstudents that you serve or have contact with. The website has been used
\nas a resource by institutions of higher learning and has been linked to
\nby colleges and universities and groups serving people with
\ndisabilities in 50 states and at least 9 foreign countries.<\/p>\n

I thank you for any and all help that you and your community may give
\nme in promoting this project as a service to all college students with
\ndisabilities.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nGabriela McCall Delgado
