At one of their weekly meetings in 2007, a group of students with disabilities came up with the idea of creating video interviews of some of the group members. They wanted to share these interviews at Symposium in order to tell their stories to the Gordon community and expand on that year's Symposium theme of "Authenticity: To Know Truly and be Truly Known." The interviews were compiled into a film which was shown in the Barrington Center for the Arts on Symposium day. The film has since been shown in other venues on campus to promote the diversity of learning and thinking at Gordon and to help train new tutors and faculty.
