In March 2009, two representatives from the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled (KEAD; formally known as KEPAD), Heaeun Choi and Kugjoo Lee, visited PEN-International headquarters as part of a nearly two-month visit to the United States designed to help KEAD form a PEN network in Korea (PEN-Korea). The group spent two weeks at RIT/NTID getting an overview of both RIT and its successful curricular, educational access and support programs for deaf students. They also met with leaders of the Postsecondary Education Programs Network (PEPNet), a grant program housed at RIT whose mission is to improve transition services and educational access for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, and they attended workshops and training sessions led by RIT/NTID faculty members. The delegation participated in nine different workshops during their stay, such as counseling and access services, C-Print, new technologies in notetaking, and a program to support RIT cross-registered students. The group also visited PEPNet regional centers in Minnesota, Tennessee, and California, returning to Rochester periodically to continue their training with PEN administrators. KEAD's goal is to establish a solid network of support services for individuals who are disabled in Korea.
