Take action today! Registration is open for the Northeast Regional Higher Education Neurodiversity Coalition Conference—a timely event to improve educational and professional outcomes for neurodivergent students. The conference is hosted by Northeastern University, the University of Rhode Island, and the University of Connecticut. Date: August 8-9, 2024 Place: Northeastern University, 805 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA Who: Faculty, Employers, Deans, DEI Professionals, Career Advisors & More We are excited to announce that a second keynote speaker has been added: Dr. Jeff Karp, a renowned biomedical engineer at Harvard Medical School and MIT who grew up being “written off” for his learning differences. He consequently developed “Life Ignition Tools,” a process for embracing life that resulted from years of iteration and tinkering to make his unique thought patterns and behavior work for him. Karp, a Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, has developed lab technologies that revolutionize treatments for myriad ailments, from coronary disease and brain disorders to Crohn’s disease and cancer. Join Dr. Karp, John Elder Robison, and the other distinguished speakers for an unparalleled opportunity to gain insights from leaders in higher education and neurodiversity. Don’t miss this unique chance to be part of an inspiring and impactful conference!
