Today we’re sitting down for a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Lowell Davis, the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Davis brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to supporting students who face significant challenges, particularly those who have suffered catastrophic injuries.
Join us for part one of our conversation, where Dr. Davis shares his personal journey—from being SGA President at Hampton University to earning his PhD and leading student affairs at major institutions—and how that experience drives his passion for helping nontraditional and disabled students succeed.
He explains how campuses provide accessibility resources, adaptive services, and now even Comprehensive Transition Programs designed for individuals with intellectual or physical disabilities. You’ll also hear how federal aid, state-level funding, and programs like UNCW’s upcoming initiative are helping open the door for students whose life path has shifted.
