Greensboro College Staffer Will Present Paper at NCAHEAD Conference in October

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Georgieann Bogdan, director of academic accessibility at Greensboro College, has been invited to present a paper in October at the annual meeting of the North Carolina Association on Higher Education and Disability at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

UDL is a framework for teaching so as to accommodate all learning styles, based on scientific insights into how we learn. Originating at the N.C. State University School of Design in the 1980s, it includes such disciplines as cognitive neuroscience.

NCAHEAD is the state-level affiliate of the national group Association on Higher Education and Disability. It advocates for access and inclusion in higher education for those with disabilities. For more information, visit https://www.ahead.org/about-ahead/about-overview/affiliates/north-carolina.
