East Stroudsburg University will welcome Christian Huber, Keith Williams, and AJ Moncman as speakers at the 26th Annual Through Their Eyes conference on Friday.

The conference speakers will share rich experiences in overcoming attitudinal, physical, and cultural barriers.

The conference, which will be held at ESU’s Abeloff Center for the Performing Arts from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., aims to give those in attendance a personal perspective from people with disabilities that is unique.

Christian Huber is a graduate of Bucks County Community College, where he received an Associates of Music degree.

While attending Bucks in 2019, he discovered his passion for disability and mental health advocacy. By joining and eventually facilitating the Disability Pride Club for two years, he was fortunate to make friends with students with disabilities as they shared their stories.

Keith Williams serves as the manager of the OVR Grant and Advocacy at the MyCIL, a nonprofit Center for Independent Living in Northeast PA dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities.

AJ Moncman was born blind with a condition called Libers congenital amaurosis. He grew up in Center Valley and went to Southern Lehigh High School. During his time there, he was a state-champion power lifter and took fifth in the country. He plays drums and bass in jazz bands, rock bands, and other live shows. Moncman was the captain of the drum line during his senior year at SLHS in the marching band.

The conference is open to the public and it is free of charge. For more information call 570-422-3893, or dcavaiuolo@esu.edu.
