Braille Challenge Alumni Connections

What can I expect when I go to college? How can I better prepare for the Braille Challenge? Is there any good advice about working in the real-world?

These are just some of the questions that many students ask. For parents, the questions can go even further such as planning for college or even helping with high school life (which we can all agree can be quite hectic). Sometimes, however, there are questions that we all have that never get answered.

Braille Institute has the answers you need! We are now providing students and parents with a way to connect with our volunteer Braille Challenge alumni. From school issues to general lifestyle advice, our alumni are here to answer all the questions you never had the chance to ask! They speak from years of experience having gone through high school and college. Many have working experience and can provide a lot of insight to how you or your student can better prepare for the real world.
