School of Medicine Sponsors Lecture by 9-11 Survivor
[The following was provided by Susan B. Wilson, Associate Dean, School of Medicine, Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity.]
On September 11, 2001, Michael Hingston, who is blind, made his way from the 78th floor of Tower One in New York City with his guide dog, Roselle.
In his lecture, “Diversity and Adversity: The Misunderstanding and the Challenge,” he uses humor interlaced with his own life experiences as a blind person living in a sighted world to help us re-examine our own views of diversity and what it really means to be different.
Hingston will speak on Nov. 2 at 3:00 pm, Theater B at the UMKC School of Medicine.
