May 06, 2021
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State’s support of students with disabilities, even in the remote environment, and the future of disability awareness at the University were discussed during the Board of Trustees Committee on Academic Affairs, Research and Student Life today (May 6).
Leah Zimmerman, Student Disability Resources executive director, presented the office’s responsibilities, service, goals and future plans with a particular focus on broad disability awareness to the larger University community.
