Muhlenberg Celebrates Disability Awareness Month

Muhlenberg Celebrates Disability Awareness Month

Muhlenberg staff and students celebrated Disability

Awareness Month by hosting the production supervisor

and two production workers from the Opportunity Center,

a workshop for adults with disabilities.  The guest speakers

told how it is to live with a disability and be snubbed,

ridiculed and turn down for jobs in the work world.  They

stressed the importance of accepting people as they are

and not make judgements based on their disability.  One worker,

who has been blind since birth, said learning how to

work on the assembly line at her Opportunity Center was the greatest

thing that has ever happened to her.  MCDC students

and staff gave the workers a standing ovation at the end

of their presentation.
