We have a terrific academic, internship and career advisement program for students with disabilities called CUNY LEADS, as well as our Inclusive and Adaptive Athletics program. 70% of students with disabilities are employed after graduation, double the national average. #CUNYSOTU

Powerful session this morning by Julian Wood at the CUNY Neurodiversity Conference. I loved the discussion on well-being, responding with kindness and being humanistic through art.
