Disability 4 Impact
Our disability awareness program aims to reduce the stigma often experienced by students living with disabilities, especially on campus and in the workplace. Students with disabilities are enrolling in college at increasing rates. This under-represented population in higher education faces challenges when entering the workforce, including the lack of job search skills. This interactive program for Mentors and Instructors focuses on disability disclosure, etiquette, and attitudes.
