Disability Achievement Awards
The awards may be given to a group or individual who has made
significant contributions to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities here at the University of Maryland's College Park Campus.
Historically, there are three awards:
- Faculty Disability Achievement Award,
- John W. King Staff Disability
Achievement Award,
- and Student Disability Achievement Award.
Some examples of the kind of contributions we would like to recognize
are:
- A person or group who takes extra steps to ensure physical or
academic accessibility for all students.
- A person or group who initiates a program intended to improve the
quality of life for persons with disabilities.
- A person or group who actively promotes awareness of disability
related issues.
Of course, this list only offers a few suggestions; you may think of
other contributions as well. The
contribution could be something which improves conditions for
the entire population of persons with
disabilities on campus, or it may affect only a few people.
The Deadline for nominations is the 2nd Friday in September. Nominations received after the 2nd Friday in September will be considered for the following year's PCDI awards.
