classmates had seen before we were quickly judged and questioned for what we were doing.
Wanting to spread the word of the major we all felt so passionately about, each of the class
cycles talked about making Braille t-shirts. It wasn't until sophomore, Katherine Flick put the
ideas to action and talked to a company about getting the t-shirts made using raised up ink. A
Hellen Keller quote was decided after watching The Miracle Worker that reads, "The most
beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart."
Almost everyone in the vision program bought a t-shirt and the orders are still being asked for
by current KU students and Alumni. Katherine Flick stated, "The vision apparel was a huge hit
and each and every order shows me that I am making a difference in a small way by raising
awareness of visual impairments in the public eye and showing the student body a small piece
of a fantastic program that will change your life." I wear my Kutztown Vision Program t-shirt
with pride of the amazing major I am in and the education I have received. It is always uplifting
to hear the positive comments about the shirts and our respected reputation among the vision
community.
