2020 The Next Chapter: Master Classes for the Seasoned Professional

The Next Chapter is AHEAD’s advanced professional development event for highly experienced higher education personnel who work to ensure accessible campus environments. Each three-day master class is designed to expand the knowledge of seasoned professionals, supporting them in making nuanced decisions, staying current with legal changes, engaging campus stakeholders, and/or exploring foundational concepts that underpin our work. To encourage an expansive exploration of concepts, apply academic thought and legal principles to daily work, and support collegial networking, all master classes include significant opportunity for engagement and hands-on-learning.

Institutional leaders and seasoned disability personnel with a solid understanding of accessibility, disability, and the accommodation process are invited to join national-expert instructors for a deep dive into ONE of the following topics:

• MC1- TBA
• MC2- Disability Law: Lessons in Application for the Advanced Disability Professional
