Guest speaker addresses ‘Embracing and revealing the potential within,’ October 15
Accessibility Services, Multicultural and International Services (MISO), Student Activities, and the Campus Activities Board invite faculty, students, staff, and the Saint Leo community to Embracing and Revealing the Potential Within, presented by Christopher Coleman. This event, which is a celebration of Disability Employment Awareness Month, takes place at 6 p.m. on Monday, October 15, in the Student Community Center, Greenfelder-Denlinger Boardrooms A and B at University Campus. The presentation will last 45 minutes, and there will be 15 to 20 minutes of questions and answers afterward.
Individuals will learn that their determination, character, and passion are the keys to unlocking the doors to an education that leads to a successful career. Coleman will help individuals to realize the hidden potential that exists in all of us, no matter what your disability may be.
In Coleman’s message, you will discover:
- Your degree of freedom is equivalent to your level of education;
- Education is not an obligation, it is an opportunity; and,
- The potential within is the key to unlocking doors of opportunity.
