As part of our programming for National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Campus Human Resources is proud to present a panel discussion of the documentary Crip Camp. 

Winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s Audience Award for U.S. Documentary, Crip Camp is the story of Camp Jened, a groundbreaking summer camp for teens with disabilities, which helped to build a movement, forging a new path toward greater equality.  

The discussion will feature:

• Crip Camp’s co-directors and co-producers Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrecht, a 1978 graduate of UC San Diego and former Jened camper
• Judy Heumann, internationally recognized leader in the disability rights community and former Camp Jened counselor
• Jimmy Cong, staff member in the Office for Students with Disabilities and a 2018 graduate of UC San Diego
• Syreeta Nolan, current UC San Diego undergraduate student, UCSA Underrepresented Student Officer and co-chair of the UCSA/UCGPC Disability Ad Hoc Committee 

The discussion will be moderated by Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Becky Pettit.
