Browsing: Accessibility

“The students, I think, are all rising stars,” Jiang said. “I’m always motivated by them — even undergraduate students. Usually, they have a lot of course work but they still are very interested in frontier research so they dedicate a lot of time and effort [to] that.”

Baylor’s Office of Access and Learning Accommodation is set to be relocated from the first floor to the basement of the Sid Richardson Building this fall. “It feels like a step backward,” Katy senior Brenna Colihan said. “Baylor’s been doing such a good job of trying to push accessibility forward, … but at the same time, moving OALA to the basement makes it feel like [students who use their services] are trying to be hidden.”

Now, students with living accommodations not only have access to a detailed website regarding what the accommodation process entails, but also have the opportunity to participate in roommate matching. If a student with living accommodations is registered for housing by May 1, they will be able to select a roommate in the same process every other student living on campus uses.
