There is a University of Oregon forum on May 6 “to raise awareness and increase inclusivity for people with disabilities on the UO campus.” I called the organizers and, yes, it’s open to anyone! (faculty and staff members as well as students and community members) and no, we don’t even need to register!

• More info: http://gtff.net/Disability
• When: Sessions start at 2:00 pm, Friday, 5/6. The last session (a movie viewing) ends at 8:00 pm.
• Where: Straub Hall, University of Oregon
• What: Workshops include “Bias 101”, “Academic Accommodation Basics”, “Mental Health and Disability”, “Universal Course Design”, and “Tech and Resources”, and more!
• Who: Teachers, staff members, anyone! People leading the sessions are from AEC (Hilary! James Bailey!), Counseling Center, TEP, Affirmative Action… the list goes on.

Hope to see some of you there?
