Join us for an inspiring lunchtime (lunch provided for RSVPs) talk with Dr. Derrick Wesley, a nationally respected practitioner-scholar with more than 20 years of experience in special education, inclusive postsecondary education, and workforce development.

Dr. Wesley will explore the untapped potential of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to expand access to higher education for students with intellectual disabilities. This timely and thought-provoking session will highlight promising practices, equity-centered leadership models, and the critical role of culturally responsive institutions in creating inclusive pathways to learning and meaningful careers.

This event is open to faculty, staff, students, and community partners.
