Current Projects:
Carolina Transition: providing freshman and transfer students with a transition program that starts from orientation. Later on we will work with ADA laws to form a transition program to help students transition out into the workplace.
American Sign Language: making sign language available to undergraduates, qualifying it to fulfill the language requirement, and using it to bridge the gap between students on campus and the deaf community.
Support Group: a way for students to communicate between other students about their disabilities and find support in dealing with newfound, current, or past issues. Time and Place to be announced.
Poster Distribution: by hanging posters around campus students will hopefully open their minds to equal accessibility and mobility limitations on campus, while raising self-awareness.
