Another World
Some Allentown College
students are not just typical
teenagers who’ve just graduated
high school. Some must make
large sacrifices in many areas of
their lives to attend school. There
are others who must overcome
obstacles and physical barriers
which would usually prevent them
from learning at a college in
stitution.
Because of the flatness of the
campus, and only one or two
story buildings, our campus is
wheelchair accessible. The com
pactness of our buildings makes
attending class much easier,
since the majority of classes are
in DeSales Hall. We’ve graduated
severely handicapped students,
who do strive to know, despite
their physical disability.
Dr. Don Gibbons, a psychology
professor, also accommodates
for handicapped, not only on our
campus, but nationwide, through
his original Handicapped In
troductions, or HI. He developed a
computerized dating service,
especially for the disabled right
here on this campus. Though not
all of our eligible students utilize
HI, AC is proud to know that Dr.
Gibbons has created a useful ser
vice, the first of its kind.
