Disability Lasts Beyond Graduation: From Student to Employee
A panel discussion on being disabled in the workplace, particularly an academic environment. Faculty and staff aren't "supposed to" have disabilities, but they do. What are their experiences, and how can a workplace anticipate their needs the way universal design in education attempts to do for students?
