OUR DEPARTMENTS

“Without the accommodations I have I wouldn't just struggle in my classes, and I wouldn't just get frustrated or skip sessions or fall behind or fail. It's not even that I would just drop out. I wouldn't have considered entering the room.” - Sam Rush, graduate student

Emergency Preparedness

We manage programs, deliver training and provide resources that empower the university community to mitigate risk, reduce harm and maintain continuity of operations during unplanned events.
