Celebrate the 25th Anniversary
of the Americans With
Disabilities Act!
25 years ago, the groundbreaking Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed, paving the
way for individuals regardless of ability to be able to fully participate in their communities.
Join us to celebrate this milestone.
The Equality & Access Fair
Krumm Lecture Series: Spencer West
Join groups from across the UNH campus and
throughout the state at the Equality & Access Fair.
Learn more about the ADA and how people and
organizations are working to create equal access
for all. Participate in hands on demonstrations,
interactive exhibits, and learn how you can take
action and become an advocate.
After losing his legs from the pelvis down when he
was a child, Spencer West learned that by connecting
with others and working to make the world a
better place, he could transform his life. Alternating
between walking on his hands and using his
wheelchair, Spencer has built schools in Kenya and
India, walked 186 miles from Edmonton to Calgary in
Canada, and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money
and awareness for a clean water initiative. This event
is presented in partnership with the MUB Lecture Series,
Health Services, Residential Life, and the President’s
Commission on the Status of People with Disabilities.
