Disability RendezVU
As a student with a disability, you’re not on your own. The Disability RendezVU focus group meets five times a year. During these meetings, you can share experiences with one another. It’s also your chance to join a panel and share ideas on how we can all work together to make the VU more accessible. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to meet each other!
