One large map will be stationed outside the UTC University Center, on the Vine Street side, and another will be located inside the University Center at a yet to be determined location.\u00a0 Ten smaller maps will be placed at various locations, including the Bursar\u2019s Office, Admissions Office, Orientation Office, and at the Office for Students with Disabilities on Oak Street.<\/p>\n

Kluesner said this project builds upon a collaborative relationship between the UTC Office for Students with Disabilities, the University, and the Chattanooga community. \u201cThis project shows the commitment to accessibility by the UTC community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kluesner received his Assistive Technology Applications Certification through California State University, Northridge Center on Disabilities.\u00a0 He was recently elected Education Chair for the Tennessee Association on Higher Education and Disability (TN-AHEAD).<\/p>\n
