DeafTEC Resource Center and AccessATE are partnering with AHEAD Conference 2025
Access in Higher Education Conference in Denver July 14-18
The DeafTEC Resource Center and AccessATE are partnering with AHEAD to send teams from 20 community colleges to the 2025 Equity & Excellence: Access in Higher Education Conference in Denver July 14-18. Each team will consist of a STEM faculty member and a staff/faculty from disability services and each member will receive $2,500 travel stipend to attend the conference.
Throughout the conference, DeafTEC will host a topical “thread” on STEM programming and access for students with disabilities, including pre- and post-conference workshops and activities. We may also tap into the expertise of some of our group to participate as panelists in some of our sessions. Our goal for supporting teams to participate in this conference includes not only providing a content-rich experience but also the opportunity for participants to develop a network of colleagues with whom they can share ideas, and discuss issues and experiences in STEM programming for students who are deaf or hard of hearing as well as those students with other disabilities.
More information about this opportunity and how to apply can be found at https://deaftec.org/projects-programs/ahead/
