Dear Friend of The Seeing Eye,

In these difficult times, we wanted to let you know The Seeing Eye continues to pursue our mission of enhancing the independence, dignity, and self-confidence of people who are blind through the use of Seeing Eye dogs. We are OK, and we hope that you are, too.

Our primary concern is the continued health of our staff, our students, and of course, our dogs. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our staff, and the hard work of our students, we were able to graduate our March 2nd class a little ahead of schedule so they could all return home safely.

With more than 200 dogs on our campus, we can never shut down completely. But we have reduced the number of people on campus, mostly focused on those people who directly care for and work with our amazing dogs. The rest of our staff continues to work, either from home or, if still on campus, in areas where they can maintain a safe six foot distance from others. Where employees must work in closer proximity to each other, we are asking them to wear personal protective equipment. And of course, we are asking them (and you!) to frequently wash hands.

Our Admissions Department continues processing applications from people who are blind seeking a place in a future class, and our Instruction & Training Department continues to provide follow-up support by phone or video conference to graduates who need it. One of our instructors even volunteered to drive to North Carolina to provide assistance to a graduate there.

We want to assure you, as a member of The Seeing Eye family, that despite unprecedented challenges, we strive to maintain our reputation as the pioneer and premier guide dog school in the world. We have been here for our graduates and their dogs since 1929, and we will continue to be during, and after, this crisis.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts, and stay safe.

Glenn Hoagland
President & CEO
The Seeing Eye
