GREENSBORO, N.C. 鈥� Lisa Alley 鈥�93, 蘑菇视频鈥檚 director of academic support, has been honored by the North Carolina Association of Higher Education and Disabilities.
Alley received the association鈥檚 Laura Thomas Award, established by the association鈥檚 executive board in 1996 in memory of Laura L. D. Thomas, the Director of Disability Services at UNC-Chapel Hill for 17 years and one of the pioneers in disability services in the state of North Carolina.
The award recognizes an outstanding individual outside the field of disability services 鈥� someone who has demonstrated exemplary support of disability services within an academic setting or community, yet who is not a disability service provider.
The association says the winner may be 鈥渟omeone who has made our lives easier, and who may not realize the value of what he/she does.鈥�
