Episode 57: Breaking Through Barriers to Conquer College

She first experienced vision complications at the age of 20, but never let this stop her from pursuing her aspirations...and we're beyond excited to welcome her to this episode of “Demand and Disrupt”!! She is Stephanie Levin of New Jersey, who holds titles ranging from PHD candidate, to student affairs assistant, to even recently published author! Her debut is entitled “Picking Up the Pieces: Finding My Way as a Visually Impaired Woman in Higher Education”. Join Stephanie as she describes the onset of her partial vision loss, the inspiration behind her book, and the content we'll be treated to between its covers. She'll also explain the PHD program in which she's enrolled, detail her Student Affairs position at Rowan University, and explain the means by which we can purchase her book.
