We have received the following announcement from Gabriela McCall Delgado:I would like to share with you the link to the We Connect Now website.
http://weconnectnow.wordpress.com/ The website was created while I was
a college student with a grant I received from YP4 to develop a
website to serve college students with disabilities. The website was
developed in an effort to connect and integrate college students with
disabilities as a virtual community with a voice on important issues.
The We Connect Now website has been up and serving college students
with disabilities since April of 2008.I wanted to share the We Connect Now website with you so that you may
post it as a resource in your website or otherwise share it with
students that you serve or have contact with. The website has been
used as a resource by institutions of higher learning and has been
linked to by colleges and universities and groups serving people with
disabilities in 50 states and at least 9 foreign countries.The We Connect Now website has been featured in the press
