Instructor Feedback Session on the Development of the Disability Affinity Program

Location: MS Teams

Hosted by: Disability Inclusion Team, AccessAbility Services

As the University of Waterloo strives to advance accessibility and disability inclusion on our campuses, consultation and community engagement play a key role in amplifying the equity-denied voices. Where the previous Accessibility Advisory Panel focused primarily on community engagement through one-way communication, the newly proposed Disability Affinity Program seeks to build community space for students, staff, and faculty with disabilities or neurodivergence to facilitate more authentic consultation opportunities.

In this session, instructors are invited to share their ideas and feedback on the development of the Disability Affinity Program as a potential, future space for instructors with disabilities to seek mentorship, peer support, networking, and knowledge exchange.
