LINK IN BIO | DAY 2 is here! Discover the transformative power of storytelling in this interactive workshop designed to elevate voices and lived experiences within our diverse community. As part of Limitless Unity: Abilities Inclusion Week, you’ll learn how to craft meaningful digital narratives that highlight perspectives tied to neurodivergence, physical disabilities, and other unique abilities. Beyond these themes, this workshop invites you to explore the full depth of your story—your identity, challenges, triumphs, and hopes—and share it in a way that inspires connection and understanding. Guided through the essentials of story development, filming, and editing, you’ll gain the tools to share your story with purpose and care. Together, we’ll also reflect on the ethics of storytelling—ensuring every narrative is shared with dignity and respect. Join us in shaping a more inclusive campus, one story at a time! Register now!

We want to give a HUGE AND VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to our very own work-study, Ms. Eliana Dillard, for her beautiful commissioned art piece that now officially has a home in AD 158.

This commissioned art piece is titled, “A Dance with Sister”, inspired and in honor of The Center’s founder, Sr. Dorothy “Dot” Ettling, PhD. Eliana, you truly did a great job ma’am. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This truly captures the essence of who Sr. Dot’s spirit, as well as the legacy she carries today.

Ms. Dillard is Junior pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Drawing. You may have also noticed her work in the printed release of the Winter 2024 issue of The Word with her rendition of our beloved Marjorie Jordan Carillon (also known as “The Clock Tower”)…I know, right?!

Eliana is just a testament to the many amazing students we have here on campus with talents that are beyond this world. Feel free to follow our awesome artist on her art journey and for any art inquires you may have!
