(July 12, 2006)–For the next three months, Marc Rubin, a 28-year-old UTSA alumnus who is deaf, will work for the U.S. Army in Italy as an inventory computer assistant in the logistics department.<\/p>\n
According to military officials, Rubin is the first deaf person who has worked with the military overseas.<\/p>\n
Rubin has not let his disability limit his goals and activities. An accomplished skydiver, he recently assisted hundreds of U.S. soldiers complete training for parachute certification.<\/p>\n
Before his flight overseas, he spoke with KENS-TV reporter Bridget Smith with the assistance of Nelda Ellerbee, a UTSA Disabilities Services interpreter. A link to the story is at left.<\/p>\n
Ellerbee and the UTSA Disabilities Services staff provide assistance to more than 200 students attending UTSA classes.<\/p>\n
