Helen Keller Lecture Series
Troy University’s Helen Keller Lecture, which began in 1995 as the vision of Chancellor
and Mrs. Jack Hawkins, Jr., was initiated to call attention to and raise awareness
of the challenges faced by those with physical limitations, particularly the sensory
impaired. Through the years, the lecture has also provided the opportunity to highlight
those who have devoted their careers to meeting the needs of the sensory impaired
and to celebrate the collaborative efforts and partnerships of Troy University and
the agencies and individuals who serve these special individuals.

Accreditation
Specialized program accreditation is a voluntary, peer review process that ensures
our programs meet and exceed levels of quality to the public, to other institutions
and to potential employers. Our professional educator programs are nationally accredited
through CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation) and at the state
level with certification programs which are approved by the ALSDE (Alabama State Board
of Education). The counseling programs are approved for accreditation by CACREP (Council
for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs). The rehabilitation
program is accredited by CORE (Council on Rehabilitation Education). These accreditations
add value not only to our programs but also to our graduates in that they can be recognized
for the excellence and distinction they have achieved.
