Accessibility Ambassadors: Intersections of Student Success and Disabling Experiences

Do you think about student success, and what we might be doing to reduce that success? Khaled Musa will introduce the topic by illustrating the different ways inaccessibility impacts academic success, and Angela Carter from MN Transform will describe how people experience disability on campus and the role of the Disability Resource Center (DRC). Steven Hawks, director of undergraduate assessment, and Katie Lust, director of research at Boynton Health, will share data from the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) Survey and a Boynton health report regarding students with disabilities, including those experiencing mental health concerns.
