UD@UA Summit

When: April 10, 2019 8:00am to 4:00pm

The University of Arizona Disability Resource Center and the Office of Diversity and Inclusive Excellence invite you to participate in our first annual summit. This year, DRC's Universal Design and Outreach branch has been working on campus to promote the principles of universal design to groups such as the strategic plan initiative owners, faculty fellows and their respective site hosts, the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council and more. The summit will be a space for UA professionals to gather, reflect on our practices, policies, and spaces, and to propose bold solutions to common campus barriers.

The keynote address will be presented by Jay Dolmage, associate professor of English language and literature at the University of Waterloo and author of the book, "Academic Ableism."

We are interested in engaging staff, faculty and graduate students in a day of reflection on campus design to collectively work toward and advocate for a more proactive, equitable and inclusive campus. Specifically, we will engage participants in considering commonly experienced barriers against the Principles of Universal Design, which broadly refers to the design of products, environments, and experiences to be usable by all people to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation.
