I plan to cover the PCDI Disability Symposium at SRU for the Information Tagged Video. The story will be sort of follow up to the story I wrote about Disability Sport Night. Both events are a part of the 2015-2016 Slippery Rock University Diversity and Inclusion Series. The President's Commission for Disability Issues (PCDI) was developed to facilitate the advocacy and awareness for faculty, students - graduate and undergraduate - and leaders in fields of study related to disability. The Disability Symposium will take place in the Smith Student Center on Tuesday, November 24th from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm. During common hour, Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham, a wheelchair athlete, will be the keynote speaker.
For the Information Tagged Video, I will edit together clips of things that occur during the symposium and direct quotes by Aaron Fotheringham during his speech for the video bed. Photos will consist of things that happen during the symposium and the people who speak there. If Fotheringham brings any "show-and-tell" props, I will have photos of those, etc. It may pose a challenge to obtain photos that are of wide variety but I will get what I can. I will link out to pages regarding Fotheringham's story (1) his Facebook page (2) , teams he plays for (3), the short description of the event on the SRU website (4), a story regarding the diversity and inclusion series (5), and one other link to something relevant to what was said during the symposium.
This story is newsworthy because it will be timely, within proximity, relevant to SRU students and faculty, and a story related to an event already covered on my blog.
