http://youtu.be/ZUu3QFGxLF0  A great video about a hero’s welcome by another hero

Here’s a well-written article about the effects of wilderness/nature/hiking on Veterans with PTS at: http://www.tetonvalleynews.net/news/warriors-retreat-effects-of-the-tetons-on-pts/article_88a5f056-1837-11e4-bd51-001a4bcf887a.html

If you know someone who could benefit from Adult Basic Education, here’s a great explanation how ABE expands job opportunities: http://www.ed.gov/edblogs/ovae/2014/08/20/renewing-economic-opportunity-for-all/  The article is in celebration of Adult Education Week Sept 22-28 (#AEFLWeek); for more information on opportunities at Yavapai College see: www.yc.edu/abe and for Veterans see www.yc.edu/vub

Students at Yavapai College with any kind of disability may choose whether or not to seek academic accommodations, such as extended test-taking time, note takers, or assistive technology through our Disability Resources Department at: www.yc.edu/disabilityresources   You can learn more about disability rights at: http://www.ed.gov/blog/2014/09/know-it-2-own-it-teaching-and-learning-about-disability-rights/ which celebrates the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – and you’re invited to share stories of overcoming disabilities at their blog with hastag: #know2own.
