The company will give $10,000 over the next five years to benefit visu- ally impaired students with the GWU Noel Program for the Disabled. Sharon Jennings, director of the Noel Program, says the money will be used to purchase computer pro- grams and equipment that will give visually impaired students access to the advanced technology that's being implemented on campus. "These programs will allow a stu- dent to work independently in the library and in computer labs," she said. "Students will be able to do research while on the Internet, just as our sighted students. They will also be able to print materials in Braille, if needed. In fact, the only assistance our visually impaired students will need in the library is for someone. 10 pall the material from the shelf.” "uff @® Floyd Williams, manager of Time Warner in Shelby, presented the gift to the University. He said, "This is a wonderful program and we are happy to be able to help its students in this way." The gift will purchase six com- puter items, which include: JAWS, a program that provides speech and Braille output; DECtalk, a voice- box or internal speech synthesizer; Duxbury Braille translator, which allows the user to printout in Braille; Blazer embosser, which is the Braille printer; CCTV will en- large print materials to any size; and Zoom test will enlarge print on a computer screen. The new equip- ment should be operational this yea.r "Since 1982 the University has provided support services that inte- grate the visually disabled students into all facets of university life in- cluding classrooms, residence halls and social activities," says Jennings. "This new technology will take that a step further in giv- ing students an equal opportunity to develop academic excellence, self-confidence and ultimately en- hance their employability." Time Warner's gift is in support of the GWU $30 million "Dreaming, Daring, Doing" capital | campaigh: Tt follows another recent—§ Fe gift to the campaign where First Citizens Bank has pledged a $7500 gift over a three-year period.
