Please join us at the College of Staten Island (2800 Victory Blvd) on April 2nd, 2008 for a discussion on Willowbrook entitled: "Willowbrook on Campus." Details Below:

The Lecture will feature faculty who are involved in research and teaching related to Willowbrook. The basic purpose of the program will be to inform the audience of this topic's rich pedagogic and scholarly opportunities.

In addition, alumni, Vanessa Leigh Debello, whose mother lived for a time at Willowbrook and who has been very vocal about the College and Willowbrook, and David Booth (OMRDD) and Ed Meehan (CSI), who represent an effective collaboration between the College and the current system serving people with developmental disabilities will also speak.
