As people with disabilities, we need space to discuss our experiences. Let's use #DisabledatUofG to connect with others and unify the conversation! We are more powerful together than we are alone. #uofg #Disability #DisinHigherEd #DisabledAcademics

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 🤔

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
