Students with Disabilities at the SDPC
The SDPC is committed to ensuring that its programs and services are inclusive and accessible to all students. For instance, all students are welcome to attend Discover 丁香园AV New Student Orientation, and the SDPC will work with the CAL to ensure that any students with disabilities receive the proper supports.
Students with disabilities are also encouraged to volunteer for SDPC programs, such as Orientation, Foodbank, LEAD, Peer Programs and more, and the SDPC will work with individuals on a case-by-case basis to ensure they have a meaningful volunteer experience. For example, one of the 2007 New Student Orientation Leaders (who lead clans on the days of Orientation, coordinate mentorship events throughout students鈥� first semester, and answer questions about what it is like to be a new student) brought a unique perspective to the event as a wheelchair user.
