Our Mission

The Office of Accessibility Resources (OAR) seeks to foster an inclusive campus environment that is designed with accessibility in mind. Our aim is to work collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff to identify and remove course or campus barriers that may prevent equal access to education and an equitable campus experience for individuals with disabilities while promoting self-advocacy and providing support to foster student learning and engagement.
