Join us on Tuesday, March 28th, at 5 PM in the Jody Richards Hall Auditorium as we welcome 2022 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, Willie Carver, to campus! Admission is free, no tickets are necessary, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Using his unique path to advocacy, Mr. Carver will use his voice to speak in support of marginalized students in Kentucky. He will address the challenges and great opportunities for our LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and Appalachian students.
By critiquing systems in which they must operate, Mr. Carver will reflect on his own upbringing in Eastern Kentucky and use those experiences as a way to create hope, inclusion, and space for students. As the 2022 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, he brought these truths to the United States Congress when testifying about the very real physical and emotional challenges LGBTQIA+ students and teachers face. During this session, Mr. Carver will share not only his experiences, but a vision for future advocacy to protect students so all may thrive.
This event is part of the newly revamped PCAL Cultural Enhancement Series with support from the WKU College of Education & Behavioral Sciences.
We hope to see you there!
