Compliance Chat #17 - Accessibility
December 6, 2024
Ensuring that all students can fully participate in university life is an opportunity for us to build a more inclusive and supportive community. From classrooms to offices to common spaces, every part of our campus should be accessible and inviting to everyone. But how do we make that happen? Across our university system, Disability Services at ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åA, ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åF, and ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åS work closely with students to ensure their learning environments meet their accessibility needs.
