Celebrating the people and partnerships building a more inclusive New Hampshire.
At the Institute on Disability, we believe belonging is a basic human need—and a powerful force for change.
Join us on May 7 from 1:00–3:00 pm in the MUB Strafford Room for our Annual Celebration, an energizing afternoon that reflects the full scope of our work as a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). Together, we’ll highlight the interconnected power of research, training, service, and dissemination—and the people who bring that work to life.
This event is more than a gathering. It’s a reflection of who we are and where we’re going: toward a vibrant future where inclusion is a given, accessibility is woven into everything, and everyone can participate fully and equally.
