From Luella Benn, Office of Student and Alumni Services
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) turns 30 years old in 2020. On Wednesday, March 4, at 11:00 a.m. in Shouse 302, we will briefly review the history of the ADA, and expand upon our understanding of foundational concepts through exploration of relevant guidance and previous legal findings in cases related to higher education. Please
RSVP directly to Luella Benn if you plan to attend.
(2) Volunteers Needed for Suffolk University Visit (Institute Wide)
From Dr. Kimberly Truong, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is looking for volunteers! Undergraduates from Suffolk University will visit on Monday, March 16 and Friday, March 20 from 2:00–4:00 p.m., and we are looking for volunteers to help briefly talk about their career choices, participate in some simulations, and end with a Q&A session.
Please
fill out the form with time slots you would be free to help! We would like to have people stay the whole time, but we understand that may not be possible. We are looking for two to three volunteers for each time-slot. More information with a pre-brief will occur!
Unfortunately, due to some logistic constraints at this time we will not have simulations involving CSD or Genetic Counseling, but we would love for you to be at the panel discussions!
