Disability Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee is extremely important because it is a mechanism to (1) improve communication; (2) solicit the confidence of the public; (3) obtain valuable input on the programs and services available to students with disabilities; (4) include the students’ voice in the process of maintaining a strong disability support program.
