UMBC's campus-on-a-hill as a person with a disability brings out overt
and sometimes more subtle features of its accessible design. Join us to
learn more (which can extend to being an effective Accessibility Ally!)
and discuss:
What are the features? We have many,
including a Skywalk and several upgrades that happened while we were
remote, and more on the way (use either of the brand new Math/Psych
elevators)
What are the bugs? Learn more about how work with situations, whether it's contacting Work Control for a repair (410-455-2550), reporting an accessibility concern, or working with campus partners, such as Facilities Management and DoIT to support inclusion. Accessibility is everyone's responsibility.
We will gather in the ADS Conference Room -
learn the skywalk and tunnel connections within the Academic Core,
review Adaptive Computing within the Library, and visit the reception
area of Retriever Integrated Health - which supports both physical and
mental health. The tour is limited to a small group, and please know
that mask use is VERY WELCOME.
Can't make the day or time? More tours are planned. Have a (small)
group? Email us to set up a day and time that works for the occasion.
Need to request a
disability-based accommodation or have questions about the event or a
specific location? Email the organizer via slazar@umbc.edu
