Building Relationships in the HoM Meetings/Classrooms “I am taking online classes, but the instructors often do not reply to our questions in a timely manner (within 3 days or so), if at all.”

Building Relationships in the HoM Meetings/Classrooms “I bought a used copy of the textbook online and it still hasn't come, and it's the third week of class. I'm having trouble because we have homework and reading out of that book every class.”

Building Relationships in the HoM Meetings/Classrooms “I'm having trouble understanding the content in class but I don't know how to explain it to my instructor, so my grade just keeps falling.”

Campus Wheelchair Tour: How Do You Wheel?
39
Big Takeaways: “ My eyes and heart were full of admiration for those for those who are in daily wheelchairs.” “I didn’t realize how what seemed like small cracks/elevations in walkway create such barriers.” “The condition of our facility sends a direct message to those in wheelchairs about how we do and do not value this community.”
40
Suggestions: “Encourage board members to attend tours like this so that they may realize issues pertinent to people with disabilities.” “Create an advisory group whose members will consult during any redesign of campus and provide scheduled feedback of issues to our maintenance staff. Would also like feedback on accommodations in classes.”
