East Stroudsburg University will welcome Dr. Eddie Coyle, Michael Freeman, and members of the So Much to Give Café as speakers at the 25th Annual Through Their Eyes conference on Friday, April 5. The conference speakers will share rich experiences in overcoming attitudinal, physical, and cultural barriers as well as sharing how a business can create employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

“This year’s speakers will carry on the tradition of delivering messages of hope and inspiration about life and the path to success and achievement in society,” said Domenico Cavaiuolo, Ph.D., professor of special education and rehabilitation.

The conference, which will be held at the University’s Innovation Center from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., aims to give those in attendance a personal perspective from people with disabilities that is unique, according to Dr. Cavaiuolo.

Lisa VanWhy, the Republican candidate for State Representative in the 189th District, launched her campaign on Monday, March 18, 2024, in downtown Stroudsburg.

Ms. VanWhy was elected and served on the East Stroudsburg School Board for eight years, serving on various committees and as President of the ESASD School Board. 

When asked if she had ever voted for a tax increase for the East Stroudsburg Area School District residents, Ms VanWhy answered that she had not.

When asked what issues stood out in her memory, she responded, "There is not just 1 simple answer, but I'll start with the overburdened taxpayer. Unfortunately, the union-backed school boards will cause additional tax burdens to our property owners by approving contracts the school budgets can't afford in the long term.
