<span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Ethel Louise Armstrong Student Poster Competition and reception is held annually to encourage students to network with the community, professionals, and scholars who share their interests in disability. This opportunity is
made possible through the generosity of the ELA Foundation and its founder, Margaret Stanton. The event honors Margaret’s grandmother, Ethel Louise Armstrong, who encouraged Margaret to reject stereotypes, embrace self-determination, and excel in college despite
the barriers of a pre-504/ADA world faced by disabled women. Margaret founded the ELA Foundation to "change the face of disability on the planet". The student posters highlight ongoing change and future challenges.</span></p>
