Part of GBC's International Day of Persons with Disabilities initiatives.

Join us for a Student Panel Discussion in honour of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities! This event is a unique opportunity to gain insights into the experiences of students with disabilities at GBC. Hear from peers who will share their college life journeys, challenges, and successes. This panel aims to foster understanding, support, and advocacy, with a focus on:

Building Community and Peer Support: Connect with fellow students, share your stories, and gain encouragement from those who understand your experiences.
Developing Self-Advocacy Skills: Learn from others who have successfully managed the process and discover practical ways to advocate for your needs within GBC.
Influencing College Policies and Practices: Bring your ideas on how students with disabilities can participate in shaping a supportive and accessible campus environment.
