Featuring Julia Leggett, Policy Coordinator, The Arc of North Carolina
Q&A and Light Refreshments to Follow

In celebration of the General Assembly recently designating October as Disability History and Awareness Month in North Carolina, together the Emerging Tar Heel Leaders (ETHL) and the UNC School of Law Disability Law Organization are hosting a forum dedicated to this topic. Julia Leggett, Policy Coordinator for The Arc of North Carolina, will use examples from our state legislature to explain the past, present, and future of disability policy in NC.

After 5pm, parking at the law school will be free and first-come, first-served. The law school – located at 100 Ridge Road – has one main parking lot at its main entrance (with the fountain) and then another lot a little further down Ridge Road at the back of the law school. If both of those lots are full, there is some parking (via meter) on the street along Ridge Road as you approach the law school. If you enter the law school from the main entrance (at the fountain), you’ll be on the fifth floor. To get to Room 3049, go the fourth floor and enter the law library; Room 3049 is located inside the library. We will have people there to guide you to the right place!
