DESCRIPTION:In many disability resource offices\, spending time on mission 
 and vision is a luxury lost to day-to-day demands. If these statements of 
 purpose exist at all\, they may simply be words on paper that neither info
 rm the office’s work nor guide its goals. However\, the strategic develo
 pment and active use of purpose and mission statements can also be critica
 l steps in guiding both internal practices and external collaborations. Wh
 en purpose and mission align with internal and external operations\, the d
 isability resource office can maximize its effectiveness by committing res
 ources strategically\, designing procedures that advance goals\, and influ
 encing the campus response to disability. \n\nThis three-part webinar ser
 ies will guide you in articulating a purpose for your office and using it 
 to actively guide your work. Intentionally offered during the summer when 
 you may have more time to think strategically\, our goal is to offer food 
 for thought\, encourage deep thinking\, and provide models for moving forw
 ard. You will explore how to identify a purpose that both guides your offi
 ce and pushes it to be more than transactional. These webinars will suppor
 t those working in large offices\, small offices\, or as the sole staff me
 mber addressing access on the campus.\n\n\n	\n	Part I: Identifying Your Pu
 rpose. We will focus on creating a purpose and mission for the office. Thi
 s session will include discussion of the leadership and influence role tha
 t a disability resource office can play on campus. We will look at how phi
 losophies such as social justice\, civil rights\, and legal compliance inf
 orm our work as influencers on campus. We will lead you through a critical
  analysis of sample purpose and mission statements\, share resources for l
 eadership development\, and discuss strategies for communicating your mess
 age to the campus community. Thursday\, June 6\, 3 - 4:30 p.m. Eastern\n	
 \n	\n	Part II: Using the Purpose to Inform Internal Practices. We will cen
 ter on practical application\, using the office purpose\, mission\, and ph
 ilosophy to guide internal practices and processes. The language we use (i
 n team communication\, case notes\, accommodation letters\, recommended sy
 llabus statements\, and websites) will be explored. We’ll also address t
 he impact of office procedures (i.e.\, can they create yet another barrier
  students must navigate?) and the implicit focus revealed though organizat
 ional charts and job descriptions. We will explore how the disability reso
 urce office can impact student development with framing conversations base
 d on a social justice philosophy\, purpose\, and mission. Thursday\, June
  13\, 3 - 4:30 p.m. Eastern\n	\n	\n	Part III: Using the Purpose to Guide C
 ollaborations. Collaboration is a necessary part of fostering a truly acce
 ssible and welcoming college experience for students with disabilities. We
 ’ll explore strategies for empowering others to work within their sphere
 s of influence to create a culture of access. Working outward\, we’ll co
 nsider our role within the campus community. How can be we involved\, deve
 lop allies\, and broaden the scope of our work beyond individual accommoda
 tions? We will explore the potential role of the disability office profess
 ional. What sort of expert are we supposed to be? How do we empower others
  to facilitate access? How do we promote universal design and inclusion? 
 Thursday\, June 20\, 3 - 4:30 p.m. Eastern\n	\n\n\nFull of practical examp
 les and thought-provoking content\, these webinars will build on one anoth
 er. Participants will receive questions to consider before and after each 
 session and have the opportunity to draft purpose\, mission\, and procedur
 al statements for their offices. An online community will be set up to sup
 port sharing ideas and resource both during the webinar series and afterwa
 rd.\n\nRegistration\n\n\n	\n	Price\n\n	\n		\n		Member: $179\n		\n		\n		Non
