Winston-Salem State University News October 13, 2014 WSSU Professor Earns Rehabilitation Education Award Dr. Robin E. Dock, associate professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Counseling at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), recently received the Sylvia Walker Education Award from the National Association of Multicultural Rehabilitation Concerns (NAMRC), a division of the National Rehabilitation Association that promotes ethical and state-of-the-art practices in rehabilitation. Dock, who teaches in the Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling Program, was recognized for her continuous excellence in rehabilitation education, as well as her commitment to student learning and multiculturalism. The award also was based on her expertise in using innovative teaching approaches in the program. Her case-based approach to instruction addressed changes in technology and new trends in the field, while enhancing the education of her students. The Sylvia Walker Education Award supports NAMRC's commitment to equity and excellence in education. It is named after Dr. Walker, an African American rehabilitation educator and administrator at Howard University who was legally blind. Because she never let her blindness interfere with her advocacy on behalf of persons with disabilities or her dedication to educating rehabilitation professionals, both NAMRC and the National Rehabilitation Association have awards named for her.
