We are looking forward to finally seeing our Blind Department students perform their Winter Concert. Although there were several postponements before our winter break, the students have continued practicing and the concert has been rescheduled for this Thursday, January 12, at 1:00 pm in the Auditorium of Healy Hall. We hope you will either join us in person or via live stream on Facebook.

Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and we cannot thank our fantastic Public Safety team for keeping our campus safe and secure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Rain, snow, sleet, or shine - they are always ready to lend a helping hand and keep our students and staff safe. Not everyone is pictured in this photo from earlier this year, but please extend your appreciation to ALL of our Public Safety team for everything they do for our campus!

VSDB is proud of two of its alumni from the Blind Department. Sean Walker and Christian King are key players on the Team USA International Goalball team. They were recently overseas participating with the USA team in the World Championship games. Christian was recognized as the MVP in the game on Dec 13 against Iran and Sean was recognized as the MVP in the game on Dec 14 against Columbia. Team USA finished 5th in Group D. VSDB is proud of these young men! Go VSDB Alumni!
