General Announcements
DRS Welcomes a School of Law Access Specialist! The School of Law has partnered with DRS to support an Access Specialist specifically for students in the Law School. Britt Neff, our long time Access Coordinator supporting the Law School, has taken on the role and moved offices to the Law Library. DRS is hiring a new Access Specialist to serve Britt’s other students. In the meantime Amanda Myhre is supporting those students. See more details at our Meet the Staff page.
Accessibility is all of us. Take a look at the new “digital front door” to accessibility.
Our partners at the UW Libraries have great resources for accessibility, find out more at the Accessibility at the Libraries website and Library building accessibility page!
