[Arizona-students] Welcome to All New Members!

[Arielle Silverman]

Hey, Sydney! What's the deal with using your ASU email address when you're 
not going to ASU? Haha! Anyway, thanks for introducing yourself to the list, 
and congratulations on graduating! There are actually quite a few language 
freaks on the National Association of Blind Students (NABS) mailing list. 
BTW, for anyone who wants to join that discussion list and talk to blind 
students from across the country, the NABS-L mailing list is also on the 
NFBNet server like this list is.

    I'm curious if anyone knows of any other blind students at St. Olaf? I 
know there is a student division in Minnesota.
