The Landmark College Academic Speaker Series enhances and promotes the College’s intellectual environment and facilitates discussion of important issues for the community.
Landmark College was built on the belief that neurodiversity is a strength. The kind of neurodiversity commonly seen in our students (whether on our Vermont campus or elsewhere in the U.S. through our summer short-term programs or growing online programs) include learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, executive function challenges, and ASD. No longer seen as a deficit, neurodiversity is justifiably gaining long-overdue recognition across industries. Corporations are actively recruiting neurodiverse individuals, recognizing that they often have an approach to learning and problem-solving that can lead to innovation. Landmark College has, therefore, always functioned as a “center for neurodiversity”—and today we have established the Center for Neurodiversity (CND) at Landmark College. The CND allows us to better promulgate the research- and evidence-based practices in teaching and learning for those who learn differently, and facilitates efforts to develop and apply new methodologies, technologies, and modalities for success in learning, living, and career readiness.
