Seeking Student Panel Participants
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee of the Graduate Professional Student Congress is seeking student participants for an educational panel regarding discrimination and cultural attitudes toward people with disabilities and equitable access on our campus.
The committee is collaborating with Partners for Inclusive Communities to bring attention to the experiences of those with disabilities on our campus and educate the larger campus community about continuing issues regarding equitable access at the U of A. Gift cards will be available for participants.
Any person living with a disability who wants to advocate and share their experience is encouraged to reach out to the DEI Committee at gpscdei@uark.edu.
