They pointed out that even virtual conventions offer excellent opportunities for attendees to socialize and network, meet others, problem-solve, and juts interact with peers who share common interests, ideas and solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheila\u2019s overarching message to students is to \u201c&#8221;get involved and do some programs during the summer\u201d, recognizing that they will probably be virtual, but pointing out that this is still a great way to meet and network with peer students who are also on their educational journey with a Blindness perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents and students&nbsp;&nbsp;are invited to reach out to Sheila Koenig with any questions, ideas or suggestions for summer programs or activities.
