ACE@MCC Event: Spread the Word Inclusion
Spread the Word Inclusion Event
Wednesday, March 9, 2022
Noon – 1:00pm
Downtown Campus, 2nd floor lounge area
ACE@MCC* is back on campus and we are hosting a Spread the Word Inclusion
event. Come join us at the Downtown Campus for food, games, and a mindfulness
activity. You will also be able to see student-created posters and information
about the Spread the Word campaign.
Spread the Word Inclusion is an ongoing global effort sponsored by Special
Olympics and Best Buddies. Although Spread the Word to End the Word (the
“R” word) is still an important message, the new campaign is
embracing a broader call to action. The stigma and discrimination faced by
people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is not limited to a
single word – so going forward the campaign is asking everyone to make a
pledge to take action for inclusion in your school, community, and
workplace.
You can use the link below to make your pledge for inclusion
today.

Be the change – together we can create a world where
everyone’s abilities and talents are valued.
We hope to see you at the Downtown Campus event!
