Welcome Again and IAL Info Video

Hello,

If you are new into reading this blog, my name is Alex Sweeney and I was the Inclusion Advancement Liaison (IAL) from September 2013 to April 2014. In the past, I had made a focus to complete two campaigns that focused on making awareness about disabilities at the Mount. From October to November, I led in an Autism and General Disabilities campaign on campus through blog posts that addressed information as well as putting on a couple of improvisational comedy nights. In January, my team, which consisted of learning strategist Michelle Greencorn, VP Advocacy of the MSVU Students' Union, Justin Corcoran and fellow students Monica and Leslie, joined me in a video project that asked students about their views on mental health as our way of taking part in Bell's Let's Talk Day.

My final project was to highlight the position of the IAL and what this person does by looking through the past two holders of that position as well as members of the recent team to share about their thoughts on the position. This allowed us to display this position and explain it to students and faculty who have never heard of it before. You can now find the video here, and I hope that you enjoy what these people had to say.

Take care and welcome to the new year!
