White Ribbon Week

White Ribbon Week will be observed on campus this week. It is dedicated to educating those without disabilities to learn more about disabilities and how to advocate for those individuals. During this week, you are invited to two panel discussions. The first will be on Mon. Nov. 16, 7:30-8:30pm in the Onstead-Packer Biblical Studies building, Hart Auditorium. This panel will consist of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (autism and down syndrome) answering questions about what it is like to be a student with a disability. Parents of children with disabilities will then answer questions about what it is like to raise a child with a disability. The second panel will be on Fri., Nov. 20, 5:30-6:30pm, also in Hart Auditorium. This panel will consist of students with physical disabilities for the first 30 minutes as well as participants from this week’s Wheelchair Challenge for the last 30 minutes.
