Sheryl
Sheryl Burgstahler's Pic My name is Sheryl Burgstahler. I have a husband, Dave, and a son, Travis. I have Bachelors and Masters degrees in mathematics and a Ph.D. in higher education. I am an Assistant Director within Computing & Communications and a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Washington. I am particularly interested in how people with disabilities can make use of computers and networks to achieve high levels of independence, productivity, and participation. I'm also interested in how the Internet can be used to create an electronic community...and, of course, I'm very interested in the "doitkids." Oh, by the way, I direct the DO-IT project!

Kris
Kris Rosenberg's Pic Hi, my name is Kris Rosenberg. I have been helping out here as part of the technical and instruction staff for the past five years. I really enjoy coming out here to Camp Courage and meeting all the new campers, and getting to see some of those familiar faces. I live in Corvallis Oregon (about 2 hours south of Portland) and work as a computer security expert for a company I helped get started. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, sailing, SCUBA diving, cooking, and just plain old relaxing. I went to school at Oregon State University (Go Beavers!) and studied Psychology and Chemistry. I have considered a number of different graduate school options but for now I'm happy working with my company and DO-IT during the summers. Who knows though what the future may bring! My Email address is: Kris.Rosenberg@orst.edu.

Christin
Christin's Pic Hi, my name is Christin Light, and this is my sixth year of working the College Preview/Internet Camp. I ran the advanced group where we worked with video editing. I attend the College of St. CAtherine's in St. Paul, MN. I graduated from River Falls High School in 1999, and worked with Graphic Design and Marketing while living in Minneapolis last year. I enjoy traveling, reading, dancing, techno and classical music, and foreign languages. My Email address is christin@coolmail.net.



Bill
Bill Taylor's Pic My name is Bill Taylor. I'm a retired software engineer who now has time to attend Camp Courage during the summer. I have worked for McDonnell Douglas where I helped send men to the moon, and for a company called Boeing-they make airplanes. Both jobs were made possible with an engineering degree from a large University. I therefore recommend a college / university education. The resulting high paying jobs make life fun and easy.
Wmhile working at Cape Kennedy I learned to fly and spent the rest of my life as a wing nut. So, when you want to talk about flying or computers, send an email to WingNut700@aol.com.



Flint
Flint Million's Pic Hello, my name is Flint Million. I am attending Camp Courage this year as an intern for the College Preview camp. Prior to this session, I have attended Camp Courage five times as a camper, during the years of 1994-1998, in the Blind Sports camp. I have worked with computers for basically my entire life (I was first exposed to computers at the age of 2 and have used them ever since). I also did the coding for the website you are looking at right now! Besides computers, I am an excellent piano player and I love listening to music. If you'd like to send me some E-mail, you may send it to: dmillion2@aol.com. Have a nice day!



Tracy
Tracy's Pic My name is Tracy. I attended college preview camp last year, and this year I was asked to be an intern. I have really enjoyed working with the campers and helping them understand more about the Internet and thinking about college. They have really looked up to me. My hobbies are reading, talking on the phone, being with friends. I think that being an intern has been a great experience for me and the skills I have learned through this job experience I will carry on in my everyday life. Please feel free to E-mail me any time. My E-mail address is tracy_benson@yahoo.com.
