Summary Sentence: A seminar in conjunction with the Institute's annual Disability Awareness Days

Full Summary: Seminar participants will gain insight on national issues related to students with disabilities and obtain an understanding of how these issues may impact Georgia Tech and other institutions of higher education.

ADAPTS and Pi Kappa Phi co-sponsor a conversation on "Current and Future Trends in Higher Education for Students with Disabilities" as part of Disability Awareness Days. This is the second of three topics to be explored during the day.

About this Lecture:
Seminar participants will gain insight on national issues related to students with disabilities and obtain an understanding of how these issues may impact Georgia Tech and other institutions of higher education. 

About Disability Awareness Days:
Each year ADAPTS hosts a series of events over several days with the goal of to promoting heightened awareness, acceptance, and understanding of persons with disabilities within the Georgia Tech community. This year’s theme, "Exploring the Relativity of Normal," was selected to give the Tech community an opportunity to investigate the qualitative and quantitative constructs of ability.
