By Katrease Stafford · Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010

Eastern Michigan University has a wealth of free resources available to its students to help them succeed during their college careers. An example of these resources is the Disability Resource Center, formerly known as the Students with Disabilities Office. One of the DRC’s main goals is to collaborate with students, faculty and staff to create an educational environment inclusive to all. According to Dr. Adam Meyer, senior director of student success within Academic Affairs, the DRC is one of 22 national higher education disability offices that is part of a federal grant project dedicated to redesigning how campus disability services are coordinated and provided throughout campus. “The main premise of the project is that the environment is more disabling than the disability,” he said.
