He’s been referred to as the country’s best diversity artist, and now he is ready to inspire audiences at Western New Mexico University on Monday, October 13.
Matt Glowacki will be speaking at the Global Resource Center at 7:00 p.m. to WNMU students and anyone else in the community who wants to hear his inspiring message. His talk is inspired by two animated programs, Family Guy and South Park.
Glowacki is a motivational speaker and a wheelchair bound athlete. He will be using his presentation to deliver his uplifting message related to stereotypes and prejudices. Born without any legs, Glowacki travels the country delivering his message and inspiring younger audiences to break stereotypes and look beyond people’s differences.
Glowacki began sharing his message in college, while he attending the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. He played wheelchair basketball during his collegiate years and simultaneously developed and administered a community awareness program entitled “What It Takes: Cornerstones for Success.” He eventually brought the program to 25,000 students across Wisconsin.
In 1998, Glowacki earned a position in the USA Paralympic Team for Sit-Volleyball. He has travelled and competed internationally with the team and has attended the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia, and the 2002 World Championships in Cairo, Egypt.
