NEWS FROM NYISE


Greetings!

Yesterday, we celebrated White Cane Safety Day , a national day of observance established in 1964 celebrating the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the importance of the white cane as a universal symbol of blindness and tool of independence.

Displaying their canes and signs, our students proudly marched on Williamsbridge Road in front of our Bronx campus to raise awareness and make their voices heard.

To learn more, click here for Bronx News 12's coverage of the day.

A special thanks to Councilman Gjonaj (pictured above), who joined us to present a New York City Council proclamation for White Cane Day that will be on display in our Museum and Archives throughout the years ahead.

If you have a moment, please donate to our Annual Fund that helps make events like our White Cane Day possible. 

Thank you to all who have already given - your support helps improve in the lives of our students!

Stay tuned for more NYISE news!

Keep warm,
Dr. Bernadette Kappen, PhD
Executive Director
