Disability Resource and Technology Hub
The Disability Resource and Technology Hub provides tools and support specifically for writing-intensive courses. Housed in the Department of English, the Hub is a center for anti-ableist technology and community, inclusive research and accessibility resources.
Founded in 2024, the Disability Resource and Technology Hub facilitates accessible writing experiences for all writing students and faculty.
We provide assistance for all students with targeted support for students with research and writing barriers. Students do not need official documentation or disability disclosure to access resources at the Hub. We are also available for curriculum consultations to help faculty integrate accessible course design into their assignments.
Our goal is to inspire inclusivity through every stage of the process, from course design to final writing projects and deliverables.

- In-Person and Virtual Strategy Sessions
