HDI’s University Lecture Series offers expertise to UK campus community
The University of Kentucky’s Human Development Institute (HDI) invites the campus community to participate in its University Lecture Series.
“The series is a unique opportunity for our experts at HDI to work with our professors and students across campus to learn more about topics related to disability,” said Rachel Womack, Ph.D., Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) and training director at HDI. “Our goal is to equip the campus community with practical knowledge about resources, legal rights and best practices.”
Lectures are offered in person or virtually through Zoom. Topics range from foundational lectures on disability, to employment and assistive technology.
“Our presenters are people with disabilities, family members of people with disabilities and other interdisciplinary experts,” Womack said. “They offer valuable insights for anyone who is interested in learning more about aspects related to disability.”

HDI also offers students further learning and engagement opportunities, such as undergraduate and graduate certificate programs, internships and the Kentucky LEND program.
