Welcoming all abilities at Notre Dame
Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2018
As an alumna, every so often I browse The Observer to stay informed of the current happenings of my beloved alma mater. Near the end of the last academic year, I decided to do this and I was extremely surprised to discover a viewpoint by Associate Professor Sara McKibben, who wrote on recent challenges for students with disabilities at Notre Dame regarding accommodations with faculty members. I felt compelled to reach out to Professor McKibben after this, both as an academic myself and as a former Notre Dame student with a disability. I share my own story as an invitation to welcome all students — and all abilities — at Our Lady’s institution. The Catholic identity of Notre Dame demands that the dignity of every human person be respected, cherished and embraced, including a student with a disability.
