Towson University College of Liberal Arts associate professor Susan “Zosha” Stuckey, Ph.D., lives by an “ethics of service.”
To that end, she has created a grant writing and non-profit project within CLA's Department of English to give her students opportunities to apply their knowledge to real world situations.
One of those situations was making the Patapsco Valley State Park playground fully accessible to all visitors.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Stuckey believes students love to write for real causes.
"If all of us dedicated ourselves to improving the world and helping the people around us, then maybe Baltimore could thrive," she said. "The play space in Patapsco is significant especially because people with disabilities deserve the same if not more access than us."
