- Terp Writer’s Corner: Jason Kraus ‘10 and Sydni Cohen ‘14, M.Ed ‘15
"When Sydni Cohen ‘14, M.Ed ‘15 and her husband saw the book 'Belly Rubbins for Bubbins' they fell in love with the story and mission. Cohen, a special-education teacher, reached out to the author and was pleasantly surprised to find out that Jason Kraus ‘10 was also a Terp. These two Maryland alums (who to this day, have still never met in person) teamed up to rewrite the original story and create the first-of-its kind inclusive children's book, specifically designed to serve children with learning differences."
