We ask these questions frequently. We have our headphones in. We’re on our phone. We’re not paying attention. These questions are common-place, but the play, “Tribes,” uses these questions as a form of abuse.

“I am not in danger. I am the danger.” – Walter White,Breaking Bad

WVU has undergone a self-survey of its Americans with Disability Act (1990) compliance. As a part of this self-survey, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is seeking to better understand how students, faculty, staff and the community view WVU’s accessibility, both the ways in which the University is doing well, and where there is room for improvement. Please take a few minutes to complete the WVU Accessibility Survey.

West Virginia University is putting on a peaceful event to promote unity and strength on campus. As a student with a disability you represent a significant minority group whose voice is seldom heard.

We have all had our struggles overcoming embarrassment and loneliness growing up. Entering public primary school with a hearing aid strapped to your chest generates a unique set of challenges. Cece Bell, author of El Deafo , recounts her experiences as a Hard of Hearing student in public school: fielding questions about the cords framing her face, and her inability to clearly hear her instructors the way she used to.  

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for #MotivationInTheMedia, where we at Office of Accessibility Services share stories about how disability-related issues are featured in media, such as books, movies, the news and music.

WVU seniors in information technology (IT) fields have the opportunity to work in a rotational program in Hartford, CT. Bender Consulting Services, a company specializing in disability employment consulting, is seeking qualified individuals with disabilities for this opportunity.
