Iowan Mia Peterson, champion for people with disabilities, dies at 47

Retired U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin praised her persistence.   “She had a great life and did a lot of important things,” he said in an interview. “She helped move the needle toward more independence for young people with disabilities.” Harkin, an Iowa Democrat who led the 1990 passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act, said Peterson helped others understand that Down syndrome has a spectrum of effects. Some people experience profound disabilities from the genetic condition, but others do not.  “You can’t just say, ‘Well, this person has Down syndrome, so they have to sit in a pigeonhole. No,” Harkin said.

Watch Now: UW-Parkside largest graduating class receive diplomas Saturday

DAN TRUTTSCHEL Lee Newspapers SOMERS — The largest graduating class in its history headed out the door and into the real world from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside on Saturday. And in the aftermath of a global pandemic, that says plenty about the efforts on that campus, Parkside Chancellor Debbie Ford said during a livestream address online prior to separate ceremonies held both online and in person. Graduates in the Colleges of Arts and Humanities; Business, Economics and Computing; Natural and Health Sciences; and Social Sciences and Professional Studies all received their degrees Saturday. Ford applauded the efforts of not only the faculty and staff, but of the more than 566 graduates who received their degrees in the 52nd Annual Spring Commencement. This year’s class tops the 2020 spring class, which at that time was the largest in school history.
