This year for Women’s History Month Tricia Downing will be coming to IIT to talk about her inspiring story of success. After surviving a near-fatal cycling accident and finding herself paralyzed, Downing has emerged as a world-class physically challenged athlete. Downing’s presentations motivate her audiences to reach further, take smarter risks and to persevere in the face of heartache, challenge and change. She shares the importance of authenticity, passion and belief in oneself. This program not only provides inspiration, but gives practical strategies to emerge from difficulty and get back on a positive track to personal success.

Join us on Thursday, March 6, 2014, from 7-8 pm in the MTCC Auditorium to celebrate a woman dedicated to character, courage and commitment.
