Loyola Partners with Distinguished Congressman to Launch The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy & Innovation
Loyola Law School, Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) will launch The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy & Innovation with the symposium, “Disability Impact: Breaking Through Barriers to Civic Leadership,” on Monday, Nov. 5, 2018 from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at LMU’s Playa Vista campus. Founded by former U.S. House Majority Whip Tony Coelho (LMU ’64), architect of the Americans with Disabilities Act, The Coelho Center’s inaugural event will examine disability as a driver of innovation. The keynote address, “The Disability Community, the Election and the Next Congress,” will outline a Coelho Center poll on the electoral habits of people with disabilities. Afterward, experts will anchor two panels: “Disabled Makers & Inventors: Agency in the Advancement of Disability Rights in Technology” and “Conquering Stigma: Representations of Disability in Media and Entertainment.” A Gala at the LMU main campus will follow.
