Korel Cudmore, a member of the College of the Holy Cross class of 2012, is spending her summer learning to fly airplanes through Able Flight, a program hosted at Purdue University that helps disabled students earn their sport pilot certification.
A math major with a prehealth concentation, Cudmore is deaf. “Since I was 2 years old I’ve had gradual hearing loss,” Cudmore told the Purdue newspaper. She doesn’t wear a headset while flying, but has learned to communicate through hand signals and written messages.
