The Helen Keller Lecture Series, which began in 1995 as the vision of Dr. and Mrs.
Jack Hawkins, Jr., was initiated to call attention to and raise awareness of the challenges
of those with physical limitations, particularly those affecting sensory ability.
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.
