Spring quarter is also a time to gather and celebrate as we honor the conclusion of this academic year, from graduation activities to commemorating a year of hard work and academic excellence.

Welcome 2023 & Winter Spotlight

Winter Spotlight: Access and Accessibility in the Built Environment

January 18, 2023

In 2019, the University prioritized work to re-establish comprehensive transition plans for its built environments. Through this process, the University evaluated its facilities and programs within the public rights-of-way, public outdoor spaces, and building entrances accessible to the public, to determine barriers to access for individuals with disabilities. The campus transition plans describe the current state of each campus location and act as a guide for future planning and implementation of accessibility improvements.
