Partnership in Excellence Grant Helps Students Succeed
The Martinsville Campus recently received a Partnership in Excellence (PIE) Grant from the Martinsville Henry County Chamber of Commerce to help students with disabilities in the computer labs. The grant writer, Department Chair Pamela Vann Nutt, said, “Computer applications in most courses require the ability to enter information using the keyboard, a mouse and a monitor.” Pamela explained that students with arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, and motor problems cannot use the keyboard and mouse properly. She said some students have vision problems and cannot view what is on the monitor properly. The chamber grant proceeds were used to purchase an ergonomic keyboard, two screen magnifiers, and several non-prescription reading glasses. Pamela said that students using the equipment, like Buford Price, have expressed their thanks for the new equipment.
