  2. Fashioning a proactive set of conversations, programs and training initiatives to guide the University's strategic emphases surrounding disability strategies and resources;

  3. Providing advice on approaches that can contribute to KSU's goals of becoming a national leader in the higher education community with regard to how it embarks on issues and concerns related to persons with disabilities and other underrepresented groups; and
  1. Identifying and suggesting other activities, actions, and policies that will lead to an increased understanding and acceptance of diverse viewpoints and perspectives between and among different members and groups of KSU's diverse community.

  • • Promotional Campaign: In 2015, the commission debuted the first installment of the “Day in the Life” videos, an extension of the “I am Able” campaign. The second installment of these videos will become available in Fall Semester 2016. These videos can be found on KSU's Vimeo page at https://vimeo.com/channels/kennesawstate/videos. 

    • Faculty Training: In the Student Open Forum in Spring Semester 2014, students stated that there are great inconsistencies in the faculty’s handling of students with disabilities. The commission began working with the Center for Excellence, Teaching, and Learning (CETL) to develop an on-line faculty training session.
