For the past few years, students with disabilities have expressed a desire to recognize outstanding faculty and staff for creating such a welcoming and accessible environment on our campus. Students, exhibiting Disability Pride, feel it is important to identify exceptional faculty and staff who incorporate principles of universal design. The proactive efforts of these award winners and nominees help assure that everyone has full access to university life.

"...Whether it is calling to have someone on campus remove snow so a student in a wheelchair can get on campus, or helping a student find a job off campus, or a tutor, that is what I do to help out. I get to see the stress disappear and the smiles return and sometimes I get a warm hug and a “thank you so much”… which is really the best part of my job."
~Sandra Hart
