Description

Our Inspirational Talks series that invites speakers each semester from all over the country to discuss personal experiences relating to their identity, research and/or global issues that impact diversity and inclusion. PAWTalks is an interactive, cultural sharing experience by highlighting the richness of the various cultures through speakers from around the country representing diverse backgrounds.

This talk features Christina Irene and her workshop on invisible disabilities. Living with her own invisible disability, Christina Irene has always believed we should all be able to be ourselves, without judgement, bullying, or discrimination. This program includes topic education with actionable techniques that includes a hilarious game show and inspiring message.

Heavy Hors d'oeuvres will be served! All undergrads, grads, staff, and faculty are encouraged to attend! For any questions, please email Carlos Turcios, Coordinator for Student Diversity and Inclusion at carlos6@umbc.edu or Campus Life’s Mosaic at mosaic@umbc.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by UMBC University Health Services and Student Disability Services.
