Dear Campus Community,
More than 40 years ago, The Civil Rights/Independent Living Movement was founded at UC Berkeley. The movement brought people with various disabilities together to advocate for themselves rather than relying on outside groups. They focused on removing architectural barriers on campus and in the surrounding community that limited their independence and identity.
Dear Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Student Instructors,
We hope the end of your spring semester is going well. As you know, this time of the semester can bring increased stress to students. With final deadlines for papers approaching and final exams about to begin, students may be displaying signs of distress. We wanted to remind you of resources available to help you if you encounter a student who is struggling emotionally.
