Seminar Description 

Learn more about the Gunter Pfau Accessibility and Inclusion Project, and let us know the questions you have about working with students with disabilities as the first cohort of researchers embarks on their projects—with your needs in mind! 

Be the first to hear about one of the first Gunter Pfau fellowship projects about healthcare students and professionals with disabilities! Learn plans for projects in the spring including using mindfulness strategies to gain bandwidth when presented with accommodation letters. Help generate questions about student and professor needs when working with students with disabilities! The Gunther Pfau Accessibility and Inclusion grant recipients will use your questions to inform their research this semester. You will also learn how you can get involved in disability-related programs and events this semester.
