Students with Disabilities

You Are Welcome Here

We work diligently to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where we can get to know you and how your personal identities and experiences connect with your career journey and aspirations. Your identity as someone with a disability may influence how you explore potential career paths, how you share your story, where you apply for opportunities, or whether or not you choose to accept a job or internship offer. This online resource is designed to provide you with information that can help you reflect and make informed decisions about how disability may impact the ways in which you choose to navigate your pathway toward meaningful professional contentment.
