Mind's Fire, Selections From a Photographic Diary

As part of our 35th Anniversary Celebration, the East Carolina University School of Allied Health Sciences is sponsoring a photo exhibit titled, "Mind's Fire, Selections From a Photographic Diary of Rehab and Recovery." The exhibit is located in the Ed Warren Life Sciences Building, Rooms 202 and 204.

The exhibit artistically shows a personal side of stroke. At the age of 41, Dr. Heidi Kelley, Director, Liberal Arts Learning and Disability Services and Associate Professor of Anthropology at UNC-Asheville, suffered a massive stroke leaving her speechless and unable to move her right side. Her husband, Dr. Ken Betsalel, Chair, Department of Political Science and Professor of Humanities and Arts and Ideas at UNC-Asheville, documented her long journey through rehab and recovery with the photographs. The Betsalels view their exhibit as a chance to educate other people about stroke, rehab, courage, love, and the need for community.

The exhibit will remain on display in the Brody School of Medicine and then in the School of Allied Health Sciences through April 4.
