Disability Education and Programming

Educational programming is a foundational step toward promoting accessibility. Throughout the year, the Disability Center organizes a variety of programs and events aimed at informing the campus community about how to foster environments that are physically and digitally accessible for everyone.

Signature events include Disability Culture Month in September and the Disability Center Graduation Reception and Cord ceremony held at the end of the fall and spring semester. Other events and workshops are held throughout the academic year for students, faculty and staff.

Meeting Groups' Needs

Campus groups, including faculty, departments and student organizations, can request a Disability Center staff member to come and discuss a disability topic that directly relates to their activities or way of work.

Topics staff can present on include, but are not limited to:

General overview of the Disability Center, including its mission, policies, procedures and who may qualify for accommodations.

How specific accommodations are executed and the role faculty, students and Disability Center staff have in their implementation.

How principles of universal design can be incorporated into meetings, classes and events to improve barriers to access for all students.

The disability rights movement and how disability culture and identity has evolved in the United States.
