In case you didn’t catch that, here’s a quick summary! 🙂

To summarize, creating a fair and supportive environment for both disabled and non-disabled students at Queens College is key to building an inclusive campus. By addressing issues like campus safety, Lack of Accessibility, and Lack of Jobs on Campus, we can help all students succeed. Solutions such as mobility support services, accessible technology, and more job on campus will ensure that every student has the resources they need to thrive. It’s time to create a campus where all students have equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of their abilities. Together, we can build a more inclusive and accessible college experience for everyone. 

If you have any feedback on how else we can improve our Queens College campus together, please leave a message!
