January Learning Hero:

Megan Sullivan (She/her/hers)

Megan has encouraged me to think about diversity, equity, and inclusion on a broad scale. In particular, she has reminded me and taught me of the importance of disability awareness, especially when it comes to student support services. I’ve begun to change my way of thinking because of her continued support and advocacy of students, faculty, and staff who may have a disability. Earlier in the semester she penned an op-ed for BU Today: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/higher-ed-institutions-hiring-more-faculty-staff-with-disabilities/. It’s a thoughtful and insightful quick read that I encourage everyone to explore.
