Current/planned projects will be discussed and campus members (especially those with disabilities) are encouraged to share ideas, some may inform the proposal process for UMBC's participation with the AccessMD Program. The presentation goes well beyond that program - and ideas from the lived experience of people with disabilities are especially important to this event.

Accessible seating is within the presentation space along with a variety of video displays for ease of viewing. For additional inquiries about access or accommodation, please email slazar@umbc.edu with "Facilities Accessibility Event" in the subject line.
