Navigating
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 during Disability Employment Awareness Month 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 (work on the Math/Psych elevator update has
already begun!)
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 at the Walter Sondheim statue seating area (if the weather
is challenging we can gather inside Sondheim Hall)- 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
