Description

Join us this summer for a series of fun and educational virtual events for the UMBC community.  

Students, faculty, and staff — bring your own lunch and stay connected with the UMBC academic community. 

Students spend much of their day sitting in classrooms, and the comfort, placement, and size of those seats has a real affect on how we learn. Join Dr. Kate Drabinski and students from her spring activism class for a presentation and discussion about campus furniture, accessibility, and what it takes to make our classrooms accessible for all.

Bio:
Dr. Kate Drabinski is Teaching Professor in GWST and Director of the Humanities Scholars Program. She teaches a spring course on activism, and this presentation highlights student work aimed at making UMBC better. She is joined by students Gab Dungan, Taz Stone, and Nicole Shif.
