The
is in honor of Dr. Virgina Murray Sowell, a
professor who devoted her life to training quality
teachers of students with visual impairments and
orientation and mobility specialists. Dr. Sowell���s
contributions to the profession have significantly
enhanced the lives of children and adults with visual
impairments throughout the state of Texas, across
the United States, and beyond.
According to Dr. Mary Jean Sanspree, Ms.
Reynolds��� ���dedication to learning and serving are
extraordinary.��� After working all day, she drives three
hours to attend class only to drive another three
hours to get back home in order to go to work the
next day. In spite of this, Ms. Reynolds is the top
student in the visual impairment program as she
consistently demonstrates exemplary professional
skills.

Somehow, Ms. Reynolds also finds the time to
practice and refine her technical skills by working at
various camps and clinics on weekends and during
the. summer. She has even provided hospice services
on weekends to students with multiple impairments
and deafblindness. With this level of dedication
already, there is no doubt that Trenisha Reynolds will
be a model teacher of students with visual
impairments and orientation and mobility specialist.
