Subject: [Coms_fac] Challenged by Choice and Disabilities Speak

Greetings,

Each year, the Athens City Commission on Disabilities sponsors "Challenged by Choice" and "Disabilities Speak" to bring greater awareness to situations that people living with disabilities encounter in the community, on the job, or at school on a daily basis. Several (temporarily) "able-bodied" community and university leaders, and students, take on a disability for the afternoon, experience that particular disability, and later talk about the experience during Disabilities Speak.

The keynote speaker this year for the Disabilities Speak Forum will be our own JW Smith. The Forum will take place Thursday, April 16, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Athens Community Center on East State Street. The Forum is free and open to the public.

Please make the announcement to your students next week in case some of them might have an interest in attending. Pizza and refreshments will be provided.

Best,

Carolyn
