National Disability Employment Awareness Month Event: Improving Disability Inclusion in the Workplace

Join us on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, at 11:00 AM for a DePaul community-wide event aimed at enhancing disability inclusion in the workplace. We're excited to host this hybrid event at the Lincoln Park Student Center, Room 314AB, and via Zoom Webinar.

Our distinguished guest speaker is Laura Wilhelm, who serves as the Executive Director of Disability:IN Chicagoland. Laura brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of disability inclusion, making her insights invaluable.

This event's primary goal is to cultivate a more inclusive and accessible work environment for individuals with disabilities. We believe that by coming together, we can make significant strides towards achieving this objective.

During the event, you can expect to gain insights and inspiration from Laura Wilhelm's address on disability inclusion.

Thank you for your commitment to promoting disability inclusion in the workplace. We look forward to welcoming you on October 25th!
