*WHAT:*
When one thinks of diversity what comes to mind? Usually, we think of race,
religion, and ethnicity. This symposium, appropriate for students, faculty,
and professionals, will explore "Diversity in Disability." Disability is
not an obstacle; it's a difference! Hear presenters from our very own
Western NY area, question panel participants, and see exhibits from
Buffalo's one of a kind Museum of disABILITY History as we explore and grow
to understand and appreciate these differences.

This year's Diversity in Disability symposium is made possible with support
from the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, the Humanities
Institute, and the New York State Disability Services Council. We would
also like to thank UB's Disability Studies program for their support! If
you would like to support this event financially, please contact me at
