Professor of Communications, Frederik Meijer Honors College- Grand Valley State University
Dr. Vélez Ortiz's areas of research are communication ethics and global environmental communication. Her work examines the ways in which the long-term success of conservation efforts depend upon fundamental shifts in cultural values, in aesthetic and moral communication, and in shared understandings of how the individual fits into social and ecological communities. In addition, Dr. Vélez Ortiz has researched and published in the area of Latin-American/Caribbean/Latina-o philosophy and intellectual history.
About Chad (see photo): A native of Sacramento California, Chad enjoys his work as a guide dog as well playing tug games, chewing on his Nylabone, and taking long walks. He is very good mobility partner for Professor Vélez Ortiz and has a sweet, gentle disposition.
