Flyer for the "Accessibility Walk & Roll Tours" hosted by the Office of Accessibility & Disability Services at UMBC. The flyer features an illustration of three people, one using a wheelchair, joyfully participating in a campus tour. A QR code is included to scan for more information. Event details: Date: May 14 Time: 12 PM Meeting location: Math/Psychology 222 Contact for information or assistance: slazar@umbc.edu Text reads: “Discover accessible pathways to classes and locations at UMBC! Everyone is invited to join us!”


Navigating UMBC's campus-on-a-hill as a person with a disability brings out overt and sometimes more subtle features of its accessible design.  Join us to learn more (which can extend to being an effective Accessibility Ally!) and discuss: 

What are the features? We have many, including a Skywalk and several upgrades (lecture halls and elevators) and more on the way.

What are the bugs?  Learn more about how work with situations, whether it's contacting Work Control for a repair (410-455-2550), reporting an accessibility concern, or working with campus partners, such as Facilities Management  and DoIT to support inclusion.  Accessibility is everyone's responsibility.

We will gather in the ADS Conference Room - learn the skywalk and tunnel connections within the Academic Core, review Adaptive Computing within the Library, and visit the reception area of Retriever Integrated Health - which supports both physical and mental health.  The tour is limited to a small group, and please know that mask use is VERY WELCOME.

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all.  To request accommodation(s) or to inquire about event accessibility, please contact us via slazar@umbc.edu May 14 Accessibility Tour in the subject line.


Can't make the day or time? More tours are planned.  Have a (small) group? Email us to set up a day and time that works for the occasion.
