As a student with disability(ies) navigating U of T can sometimes be complex, layered, and overwhelming. This is a shared experience for many students on campus. In this Accessibility Dialogue, connect with other students who may have similar lived experiences. Through facilitated discussion, the goal of this dialogue is to allow space for LGBTQ2S+ students with disabilities to explore, and reflect how the intersectionality & complexity of our identities shape the way we navigate the university.
