Fayetteville State University (FSU) announced recently that Dr. Kaycee Bills, assistant professor of social work in the School of Social Work has been awarded the Inspiration Award by the Invisible Disabilities® Association.
The exclusive annual award identifies just one person in the United States each year.
According to the Invisible Disabilities® Association’s executive director, Bills earned the award for 2021 due to her “inspirational journey achieving a bachelors, then a master’s and ultimately a Doctorate in Social Work while living with autism and overcoming bullying,” according to information from FSU.
“Her research interests promote inclusion among students with disabilities and disability equality,” according to a statement from FSU and provided news media. “She has dedicated career to social work, which has allowed her to give back to the autism, neuro diverse, and invisible disabilities communities.
Bills has been featured in news outlets by The Female Lead and ABC11 for her work with this disability community.
“It gives me great pleasure to celebrate this huge honor bestowed upon one of our own esteemed FSU Faculty members,” said Chancellor Darrell T. Allison.
