The Office of the Physically Impaired opened in 1968

to help students and others with physical disabilities.

In 1980, this office worked with the campus planning

office to issue tactual maps for the visually impaired.

Developed by a graduate student in geodetic science,

the three-dimensional maps offered large type; buildings,

streets and walkways in relief; and Braille symbols.

President Harold Enarson and his wife, Audrey,

advocated for those with disabilities and distributed

their official holiday greeting card in Braille one year.
