Margaret A. Staton was dedicated to improving the lives of students with disabilities and helping them achieve all of their academic goals. She had committed decades of work with AACE and endowed a scholarship for women with disabilities. Today, AACE carries on Margaret Staton’s work. AACE recognizes Ms. Staton for her extraordinary work with the university and for her generous charitable giving over the years. During her years at Georgia State as a student, this country was in the throes of a great battle over rights for racial, ethnic and gender minorities. Margaret Staton worked to ensure that the voices of people with disabilities were heard in that human rights movement, and that students with disabilities were given the same opportunities as students without disabilities at Georgia State.
