12:00–1:00 pm
Zoom
This session will introduce the Disability Inclusion Resource Group and its work to date. The conversation will establish an understanding that disability is part of the human condition and that the use of accommodation is a benefit to all, and provide tips and tricks to increase confidence in supporting a disability inclusive environment on campus. The small group discussion will reflect on these points and where they may or may not currently exist in participants’ lived experiences, and also seek input on where they feel empowered to make inclusive changes to their environment as well as where they see a need for change towards inclusion but are unsure how to make such a change.
The session will be led by Brittney Hyde, Co-Chair, UChicago Disability Inclusion Resource Group & UChicago Medicine Disability Inclusion Coordinator; and Audrey Gamet, Co-Chair, UChicago Disability Inclusion Resource Group & UChicago Medicine Senior Consultant, Leadership Recruitment Strategy.
