From the time she was two years old, Deana Namuth has suffered from juvenile arthritis, a painful disease that often makes activities such as typing painful and difficult. With the help of the university's Assistive Technology Resource Center, Namuth acquired voice-activated computer software that enabled her to recite her dissertation and to compose teaching assignments. When Namuth graduates from the College of Agricultural Sciences on Dec. 20, she said she'll think of those at the university who helped her get through. After earning his bachelor's degree in liberal arts this month, Eric Davidson hopes to begin implementing a vaccination program for Vietnamese children. Before coming to Colorado State, he taught English in Japan and worked in southeast Asia as a freelance news photographer.
