Alum shares story of cerebral palsy, self-advocacy, success

Travis Davis is a University of New Mexico alum, having graduated in 2016 with a master’s degree in adapted physical education. Since completing his degrees, Davis has worked as a disability advocate, consultant, coach and public speaker. He said that what he wanted to impart to students was the importance of thinking big and not limiting oneself. “Having a visible disability or using crutches or a wheelchair, it just adds extra attention,” Davis said. “In order for me to be a self advocate, in order for me to get the things that I want as a person with a disability, I have to be vocal. In order for me to be vocal, I have to communicate, and that really pushed me out of my comfort zone, because if you’re not vocal about what you want and what your needs are, you’re never gonna get them.”

Is ‘Lobo Wrapped’ cool or cruel? It’s certainly unusual

While students look forward to their Spotify Wrapped each year, the newly unveiled Lobo Wrapped feature has brought about mixed feelings among students. The feature places students in categories, similar to Spotify Wrapped. Some felt the Wrapped understood and validated their existence and habits, while others felt called out and ashamed. Lobo Wrapped was intended as a personalization and accountability tool, presenting students with a summary of all the activities undertaken using their LoboID, such as accessing on-campus libraries, the gym, and even where and how often they use their meal swipes. Access is also analyzed based on time of day and relative frequency and employs algorithmic analyses of possible driving factors for student choices.
