We invite you to use this website to connect to resources, learn about upcoming events, and learn about what we can all do to improve in our efforts to promote access and inclusion for persons with disabilities.

For 2009 we have identified three priorities:

  • Planning a spring Disability Awareness Summit
  • Develop a protocol for welcoming to our community faculty and staff who have disabilities and may need accommodation, and connecting them to resources
  • Participating in the university’s budget reduction process to be aware of the impact on our disability inclusion efforts.
