Emilie Gossiaux, who graduates from the School of Art this year, has been featured in a news story shown on CBS New York on Friday. The spot recounts her remarkable story as someone born with a hearing impairment and who, while a senior at The Cooper Union in 2010, was blinded in a street accident. After recuperating she returned in 2013 to complete her degree.
