Leadership in Visual Impairments (NCVLI) and the National Center for
Leadership in Sensory Disabilities (NCLSD). These large-scale leadership
grants established a consortium of university programs with the objective of
establishing a community of practice and training of over 20 new doctoral
level leaders in the sensory impairment areas. Ms. Hill is also the project
director of multiple personnel-preparation grants that focus on training
teachers to work with students with visual impairments and deafblindenss.
One of her most recent accomplishments was receiving the U.S.
Department of Education's Golden Apple Award for her work on the World
Intellectual Property Organization Marrakesh Treaty. This treaty ensures
worldwide access to publisher's digital files for all persons who are blind,
visually impaired or have a print disability.
For her dedication for students with visual impairments, blindness, and
deafblindness and those professionals who work with these students, the
CEC Division on Visual Impairments and Deafblindness is delighted to
present this award for her lifetime of advocacy on behalf of students with
sensory disabilities.
