International Day of Persons with Disabilities is Dec. 3, 2022. As part of the celebration, we, the Disability Services office, would like to create and display interviews of persons discussing their life experiences as a person with a disability. The “selected” interviews would be compiled into video clips which will be shown in various locations and in publishings throughout the University the week before International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The interviews can be done on your own time - we will send the questions and the directions for making your video.
The purpose of these videos is to spread awareness, promote empowerment, reduce stigma, and overall provide representation within our university community.
If you are interest in participating in this exciting project (or would like more information, need accommodations, and/or have questions about being on camera or other confidentiality concerns), please email Janelle Diaz, Assistant Director of Disability Services at Janelle_Diaz@uml.eduby Friday, Nov. 4.
