CALENDAR
iod.unh.edu
The Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire
welcomes 2010 with its annual outreach calendar, highlighting New
Hampshire’s dedication to community, diversity, and inclusion.
We are excited to feature original works of art by 13 talented artists who are
connected to our mission. Continuing with our ten-year tradition, each work
of art has been coupled with an inspirational quote that reflects the values
of the IOD. In addition, every month features sponsoring programs and
organizations that share in our commitment to creating more inclusive
communities for people with disabilities and their families.
The staff at the Institute would like to thank all those who helped make
this calendar possible, particularly those artists who generously
contributed their visions for social equality. We would also like to
extend our deepest gratitude to all our sponsors, both returning
and new.
We wish you well in the New Year and thank you for
celebrating it with us.
Warmest Wishes,
The Institute on Disability Staff

The Institute on Disability/UCED (IOD)
at the University of New Hampshire was
established in 1987 to provide a coherent
university-based focus for the improvement of
knowledge, policies, and practices related to the lives
of persons with disabilities and their families.
VISION
The IOD envisions a future where all persons, including those living
with disabilities, are fully engaged members of communities; a future where
culturally appropriate supports are available across the life span to individuals and
families that lead to self-determination and satisfying quality of life.
MISSION
The IOD strengthens communities to ensure full access, equal
opportunities, and participation for all persons.
VALUES
The IOD values the participation of people with disabilities,
the community, family members, and a culturally diverse
membership in its governance and research, teaching, and
service activities. The IOD works to advance principles of choice,
family and consumer-directed supports, community inclusion, and cultural competence
throughout the life span.
UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE ON DISABILITY (UCED)
The Institute on Disability is a member of the Association of University Centers in Disabilities (AUCD),
a network of 67 university-based Centers located in every state and territory in the United States.
The IOD, working with the Division of Genetics and Child Development at Children’s Hospital at
Dartmouth and the Department of Pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School; and the Institute
for Health, Law, and Ethics at Franklin Pierce Law Center, is the flagship for New Hampshire’s
University Center for Excellence on Disability (UCED).
These institutions work closely with local and state agencies to
advance policies and practices that improve the quality
of life for children and adults with disabilities and their
families.

If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must
recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less
arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse gift will find a fitting place.
