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.
