Latham Celebrates Rare Disease Day (Part 4): An opportunity for every student to shine
March 3, 2023
Posting our Rare Disease Day videos this week has allowed us to share all that is unique and special about our community with friends near and far. Katrina Kozak, Director of National Outreach, reflected on this collaboration:
“When our team put this together, I was excited about the project because I felt that it allowed us to give each student the opportunity to shine. From working with each person and laughing throughout the photo shoot to receiving emails from staff with thoughtful moments captured in the quotes, I enjoyed each step of the process. I hope you have smiled when watching these videos as much as I have!”
Thank you to our staff for today’s quotes about another group of amazing students:
