Maja Tokic, Campus Planner, Facilities Management

Current/planned projects will be discussed and campus members (especially those with disabilities) are encouraged to share ideas, some may inform the proposal process for UMBC's participation with the AccessMD Program. The presentation goes well beyond that program - and ideas from the lived experience of people with disabilities are especially important to this event.

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all. Mask use is welcome. Captioning is available, ASL is available upon request. Accessible seating is within the presentation space along with a variety of video displays for ease of viewing. For additional inquiries about access or accommodation, please email slazar@umbc.edu with "Facilities Accessibility Event" in the subject line.

We understand that synchronous attendance can be a challenge for anyone with a disability and have flexible options for participation and will be providing a link for remote attendance to registered attendees by Friday March 27th. We look forward to seeing you in-person or online.
