Knee deep in that white stuff on Monday Laurier Receives Award We improve 'quality of work' for disabled by Jerry Zeidenberg WLU was recently given an award for having made "significant contributions to the employment of the disabled" in 1981. An award, in the form of a plaque, was presented to Cher Koch, WLU's personnel officer, at a banquet last November. The commemerative plaque was given to her by city aldermanCardillo, on behalf of the Kitchener-Waterloo Co-Ordinating Committee. Laurier employs about 650 persons, of whom about 12 have a disability. Ms. Koch said she was aware that 1981 was the "Year of the Disabled," and made efforts to inform herself and other WLU staff about it. In this way, attention was focussed on a group within the university which is often overlooked. And as a result, Ms. Koch explained, the quality ofwork, and life, was improved for manyofthe school's handicapped employees. As part of the effort to make Laurier's administrators more aware of the problems faced by the disabled, a film on this topic was shown to them last year. Also, two programs have been set up on campus which are attuned to the needs of physically and emotionally handicapped employees. Because it is strapped for funds, the universityhas not been able to purchase special equipment, or provide exclusive services. But it has made real strides by changing people's attitudes; it has made its administrators more aware, tolerant, and understanding of their employee' disabilities. Unlike employers elsewhere, Ms. Koch said "administrators at Laurier are very cooperative and understanding...and that's why we deserve the award." Ms. Koch added that "if WLU can win an award with the limited, albeit honest, efforts we've made, it's indicative of how far society, in the same way, can go in aiding the disabled.
