UofG Disability Community

I’m working on a case on behalf of disabled post-secondary students and government student loans. If you are or know of a current or former Canadian post-secondary student with a disability who took longer to complete studies and received a government student loan, please send me a direct message. #DisabilityRights #Disability

Please be safe to those on campus. Interesting that they say 'DO NOT use the elevators' yet provide no alternative for people who cannot use the stairs 🤔

📣 SES Grad Students 📣 Check your inboxes! The SES Graduate Financial Well-being survey is now available! To advocate and serve you better, the Graduate Student Coalition needs your input! Available until Wednesday, March 22

4th review of the AODA by Rich Donovan: “The current experience for many people with disabilities in Ontario is poor. This stems from design flaws in services, products, technology, buildings, infrastructure, careers, processes, and human imagination.” aodaalliance.org/whats-new/prem…

Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week! We are so proud to represent the neurodivergent community here at the University of Guelph. #UofG #UniversityofGuelph #DisabledatUofG #Neurodiversity #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek2023 #NeurodiversityWeek #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

Thank you, Judy, for your advocacy. Rest in peace 💕 Sending love to all those in the community mourning this loss.

Due to incoming inclement weather, the University of Guelph campus will close today, March 3 at 6pm to protect the safety of students, faculty & staff. Instructors will have info on rescheduled assignments, tests & midterms. Learn more: bit.ly/3ZkEl8j

@Tutor_Chris Hello! We haven't had a chance to run many events yet, so you'd be in the same position as many other candidates. If you'd like, you can join our Discord—whether to feel out if you'd be interested in an exec position or just to connect with other members! discord.com/invite/TtuAsxp…

@uofgdisability Hi! I would love to get involved with your organization, but I don't think I'm a suitable candidate for an executive position, as I haven't participated in any events or anything. Are there other ways I can contribute to @uofgdisability ?

Would you like to run for an executive position with UGDC? Please fill out this form by Feb 27th at 11:59 PM! forms.gle/a1afhUmZnmZ9pG…

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out! And whether you decide to run for a position or not, you are invited and encouraged to attend executive meetings, share your hopes and ideas, & vote on club matters. We hope you'll join us! #uofg #DisabledatUofG

Unlike with most executive positions, we have no hard attendance requirements, and we are uniquely qualified to support your success if you're interested in running for a position. #uofg #DisabledatUofG

Are you interested but anxious about taking on the responsibility of an executive position? As a disability organization, we've planned for the option for any/every position to be shared by more than one person. #uofg #DisabledatUofG
