Dear LALS Community,

Happy March! I hope you're all well. The following event is open to the public.

I am super excited to share this event at LC on Tuesday, March 3/21 @ 5:30pm to promote LALS to Fordham and the broader NYC community. We are delighted to welcome Quemuel Arroyo, Dominican American and proud New Yorker who is also, at only 33, the first-ever Chief Accessibility Officer of the MTA. Quemuel is poised to transform NYC and the world through his vision for accessibility for all. I'll be in conversation with him together with Rebecca Sanchez of Disability Studies.

Please come support LALS. Your presence matters, because visibility matters! Invite students, friends, family, and whoever is interested. You can register here or by clicking on the poster below.
