Mentorship & Scholarship Opportunity for 2023-2024
We are fast approaching a new academic year, and already have great news to share. Again this year, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Alliance for Students with Disabilities for Inclusion, Networking, and Transition Opportunities in STEM (TAPDINTO-STEM), are collaborating to provide students with disabilities who are majoring in or who have graduated with a degree in STEM disciplines.
Due to construction in Mitchell Hall, ARC Offices will be temporarily housed in the Northwest Quadrant (NWQB) from June 5th to July 31st. If you would like to visit us in person, stop by NWQB 6th floor, rooms 6478 and 6472. Our email and our phone numbers will remain the same.
On July 31st, you can find us again in Mitchell Hall, room 115!
The Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) promotes diversity and inclusivity at UWM by providing comprehensive services and accommodations for students with disabilities in university-related academic, social, cultural, and recreational programs.
Whether you are a current student or an alum (or a parent of either), we hope your experience at with the ARC has been positive and successful! With a growing population of the students we serve, our work has become even more important on all three branches of UWM. We have hired more Access Specialists and have begun new initiatives to bring disabilities to the forefront as part of UWM’s mission of inclusivity and educational excellence.
From noon today April 13th, to noon April 14th, we ask that you consider a donation to the Accessibility Resource Center to help support our ongoing work in disability services and inclusivity of students with disabilities. Even a little bit goes a long way!
