Wayfinding, Skywalks and more, oh my!

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!
What are the treats? We have many, including a Skywalk and several upgrades that happened while we were remote.
What is tricky? 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 to support inclusion. Accessibility is
everyone's responsibility, and feedback to responsible departments is
essential for response and improvement.
We
will meet outdoors at the Sondheim Statue (he is offering you his seat,
what an ally!) between the Sondheim and Math Psych Buildings on the
Lower Academic Row. The tour is limited to a small group and includes
indoor spaces with social distancing so bring your most excellent COVID
mask - work it into a costume! Our free food is trick or treat candy.
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.
