Accessibility Leadership Committee

The Committee is composed of students, staff, and faculty from across campus and meets approximately three or four times during an academic year. Each year, the focus and/or goals of the Committee center around the question, “How do we develop the understanding and awareness, among all members of our community, that accessibility is a campus-wide issue and needs campus-wide support and participation?”

Mission Statement

The College is committed to maintaining an environment in which all members of the community—staff, students and faculty—are treated with respect and dignity. The mission of the Accessibility Leadership Committee is to raise awareness that accessibility is the responsibility of the entire College community. The Committee guides the College on its path to moving beyond compliance to build an innovative and inclusive social, physical, and educational environment.

By working to ensure that each 51��Ƶ student has full access to their educational experience and that the community benefits fully from all its students, the Committee sees itself as advancing the mission of the College.

In the Fall 2025 semester, the Accessibility Leadership Committee worked to outline, define, and implement a subcommittee structure that supported an action-oriented approach to accessibility across our campus. The Subcommittees are outlined below.
