Welcome!

The mission of the President’s Commission on the Status of People with Disabilities is to promote empowerment and inclusion of students, faculty and staff and guests with disabilities at the University of New Hampshire.  The Commission acknowledges that people with disabilities are a diverse group that includes individuals with visible and non-visible disabilities.

The Commission shall provide a forum for discussion and assessment of disability-related issues and opportunities that are relevant for the campus and larger community.  In addition, the Commission shall advise the President, Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Inclusive Excellence and the Director of Affirmative Action and Equity on disability–related issues, policies, services, attitudes and practices on campus.  This mission is motivated by the belief that people with disabilities are assets to our community, adding value and diversity to our living, working and learning environment.
