Sandy Russell Hartnett ’75

"They are no different than any other children."

Sandy Hartnett reflects on her professional life in deaf education. Sandy spent her career at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind in Spartanburg. She received a degree in Deaf Education from Converse in 1975. She lives in Moore, SC and is a current member of the Alumnae Association Board as the 1970s Decade Representative.

In celebration of our 125th anniversary, Converse is recording conversations that capture the unique voice, value and vision of our College community. The project launched during Reunion Weekend 2014, with a team of student digital journalists interviewing alumni, students, faculty and staff. The resulting stories span decades of friendships, life experiences and careers. The Conversations project was funded by a gift from President Betsy Fleming in honor of the College's anniversary.
