FIG 1 Spring Semester 2024 (March 12th)

Our first FIG of the Spring semester was a delightful hybrid meeting with 3 faculty and 2 student alumnae  in person at the Café Joyeux at 599 Lexington Avenue on Manhattan: Inclusive restaurant and coffee shop – New York City – Café Joyeux US (cafejoyeux.com) The manager of the café Sarah Parkes together with Safia Alrawi alum of the Melissa Riggio Program from KCC gave an overview of the café’s history and philosophy and what the experience of being employed in the café was like.

Feedback from faculty included: ‘This was the best FIG so far’! We welcomed two new faculty which made a total of 16 attendees. News of a Disability Awareness week at Penn State University initiated by Margot Cole KCC alum. Together with international news of the Winchester University, the first UK university to set up an inclusion program made for an uplifting meeting! Please see the recording of the meeting below:
