Did you know we are working to build a culture of love, respect and inclusion for individuals with physical disabilities through the development of a new Physical Education program in Adaptive Sports at UMBC?
Our goal is to increase access to athletics for all students, faculty and staff through adaptive sports programming. This program will provide the UMBC community both with- or without- disabilities the opportunity to participate in physical sports together, and in doing so will build a supportive, inclusive, and diverse environment across campus.
By voicing your votes now in support of this program, UMBC Athletics and Physical Education will be able to purchase the necessary equipment that is needed to start the very first UMBC Physical Education class in Wheelchair Basketball that is open to ..EVERYONE, soon..
This sports program aims to improve the campus in 3 main areas; Inclusion, Access and Student Success; INCLUSION by forging ACCESS and community for a marginalized group to the full offerings of the campus environment through providing opportunities and supportive teammates that would lead to a student's increased sense of belonging, empowerment and ultimate SUCCESS!
