ÐÜèÔÚÏßÊÓƵ

Disability and Accessibility Resources (DAR) assists the college with its mission of educating students for lives of leadership and service in a global society by ensuring that all students have equal access to the full ÐÜèÔÚÏßÊÓƵ experience. DAR supports self-advocacy and strives to educate faculty, staff and students about disabilities in the context of diversity and encourages an inclusive environment. We believe that all students should always be able to get where they need to go, can fully participate when they arrive, and have access to all information.
