Join University Life in collaboration with Columbia Health Disability Services for a discussion on navigating disability disclosure conversations. This workshop serves to empower students who may not feel confident about disclosing their disability and provide them with useful information on how to have these conversations and what they should know regarding disability policies in the classroom and eventually workplace. Students will gain tips on how to have conversations with faculty, future employers and friends about their disability.
The workshop will be led by Colleen Lewis, Senior Executive Director of Disability Services.
