Graduate Center

Welcome to the Grad Center

Welcome to the Guiding Eyes Graduate Center.  As a graduate of Guiding Eyes, you and your guide dog are part of a valued community!  Consider this your reference center – a place to find information, refreshers, support and other helpful tidbits. We have categorized materials under the headings of General Info, Helpful Resources, Advocacy, and Refreshers & Updates. We invite you to explore the links below, then click Graduate Center Home to return here.

Your feedback is important to us!

We’ve been settling into our corner of GuidingEyes.org, and continue to bring you more material. We welcome and look forward to your ideas. Contact Melissa Carney, Community Outreach & Graduate Support Manager at mcarney@guidingeyes.org. And remember…. if you experience any accessibility issues on these webpages, we’d like to know!  Please visit our Accessibility Feedback Form to assist us in monitoring and improving your Graduate Center.
