Join the conversation with Lindsay Wrege, Co-Founder of 321 Coffee, in an open dialogue around inclusion, innovation, and impact featuring trailblazing leaders from the Triangle area. The room is open to all audiences, from students and startups to seasoned professionals and CEOs.

Coffee and donuts are on us!

On March 4, Lindsay will be joined by Debbie Antonelli and Dreyahna Grunow to talk about disability inclusion in higher education, NC State's new Elevate program, and how March celebrates World Down Syndrome Awareness Day!

Debbie Antonelli is a trailblazing basketball analyst, former NC State Wolfpack player, and passionate advocate for disability inclusion. A proud NC State alumna, Debbie played under legendary coach Kay Yow before launching a distinguished career in sports broadcasting. Off the court, she is a tireless champion for inclusion, most notably through her "24 Hours of Nothing But Net" free throw challenge, which has raised over $1 million for Special Olympics.

Debbie is also a key supporter of Elevate, NC State’s new inclusive postsecondary education program (IPSE), which provides students with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to experience college life and career preparation. Her leadership and advocacy continue to make a profound impact, bridging the worlds of sports, education, and inclusion.

Dreyahna Grunow became a proud member of the Wolfpack earlier this year when she started in the inaugural class of the Elevate program. A longtime 321 Coffee barista, Dreyahna brings her passion for teamwork and community to everything she does. As a trailblazer in the Elevate program, Dreyahna is helping pave the way for greater inclusion in higher education while continuing to inspire those around her. (Plus, Dreyahna shares a love for basketball just like Debbie!)
