Goodbye Jeffrey
I am sad to report that Jeffrey, a '98 Scholar, passed away on April 25. You can read his first bio in the DO-IT Snapshots publication at www.washington.edu/doit/snapshot/phase-i-scholars-4. Jeff, the valedictorian of the Olathe East High School class of 1999, earned an Associates degree from Middlesex Community College. He completed a Bachelor of Science degree from Northeastern University in both Biology and Geology. We will remember Jeffrey as a strong self-advocate, a serious and dedicated student, and an active participant in Boy Scouts of America and karate. To get a sense for Jeff's determination, positive attitude, and use of assistive technology, check out the DO-IT video Working Together: People with Disabilities and Computer Technology at www.washington.edu/doit/videos/index.php. We will miss Jeffrey.
