Description

The National Association of Blind Students welcomes students to join us in “Charting the Course: Finding Your Fit as a Student”. As students, we may often face experiences that lead us away from our comfort zones.

However, with this theme, we will focus on embracing the different perspectives students have toward building their confidence. During the weekend, we will have a number of interactive activities and presentations that allow for participants to reflect on their educational and professional journey.

Ultimately, we hope that students will gain an understanding of creating or building upon their own path toward success as we sail through, making meaningful connections, discovering interests and gaining the resources that are available to us as students.

The National Association of Blind Students prioritizes its members' health and safety in all its events. For the safety of all participants, we ask that if you are feeling ill, please remain home. These policies are consistent with the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania policies on in-person gatherings. 

We are also committed to keeping all members safe. As such, we follow the Code of Conduct and the Youth Program Participant Protection Policy, upheld by the National Federation of the Blind.

We in no way, shape, or form want finances to deter student attendance. If the $100 registration fee stands in the way of your attendance or you have any other questions about the registration process, please reach out to NABS board member, Zachary Ledford at ledford.zachary38@gmail.com.
