Promising Professional in College Autism Support
Victoria Morsette
Rochester Institute of Technology
Victoria's nominator had this to say: “What distinguishes her from many strong colleagues is that she consistently asks, ‘How can we make this better, more accessible and more useful for students?’ and then follows these questions with action. Her colleagues have come to rely on her as a steady, trusted and highly capable go-to resource. Students describe her as empathetic, reliable and relatable. She demonstrates a sustained commitment to professional growth, including statewide involvement. She is a practitioner, curriculum designer, collaborator and emerging leader who understands that the work we do locally is part of a much larger national conversation about inclusion and student success.”
