Transcript of Introduction
My name is Sharon Witherspoon. I work at the UMD Financial Aid office. I’ve been employed here for about 11 1/2 to 12 years. I work—I see students. I work in an area called the Student Assistance Center. It’s like a one-stop shop area and any need that the student have, we try to assist them. And, even if it’s not about financial aid, we try to steer them in the right direction.

I’m Nancy Diener and I coordinate support services for Deaf, hard of hearing and DeafBlind students at UMD. My name sign is (shows sign). And, I would like to tell you that I actually can sign, and if Ketsi came into my office on regular day, I wouldn’t have to have an interpreter. I could actually communicate with her one on one, butt hen you wouldn’t have anything to practice with, would you? So, that’s why we set this up and hope you have some good practice time here.
