Disabilities come in many different forms and can vary greatly. Join the Disability Resource Center (DRC) for some snack-size information and interactive discussions on a variety of disability-related topics.

Presentations are geared toward faculty and staff (students are welcome), and offered every Thursday from 11:10 a.m. to 12:00 pm via Zoom. Register for each presentation at the links below.
