OOD Council: Dr. Carolyn Peters & Dr. jw Smith

Dr. Carolyn Peters, chair of the OOD Council,  and Dr. jw Smith, vice chair, discuss their personal journeys, talk about their involvement with OOD, and reflect on overcoming challenges. 

“At first I was depressed about losing my vision. Then I was in denial,” Dr. Peters said. “I went through all those stages and finally realized there were some opportunities.”

Dr. Smith challenges listeners: “What are you going to do with the opportunities you have? What are you going to do with the challenges you’ve been presented? That’s what it really comes down to.”
