Listen "Cruising Through Summer: Next Exit—College"
Episode Synopsis
Buckle up for a mid-summer check-in with Peer Ambassadors Amy and Maddy as they reflect on the adventures, growth, and unexpected moments that shaped their summer—and look ahead to the college road just around the bend. From leading mock interviews and connecting with students through Zoom sessions, to hiking trails with all-terrain canes and navigating dorm shopping trips, these two share candid stories from the driver's seat of transition. With insight into disability services, professor prep, campus navigation, and finding your people, this episode is like a GPS for blind and visually impaired students getting ready for their own journey into college and careers. Whether you're paddling through new experiences or pulling over to re-check your route, Amy and Maddy prove that with the right support and mindset, you're never traveling alone. It's mid-summer, the engine's still running, and the next sign says: College Ahead.
