“Benedictine University has been very accommodating to me. My disability has not interfered with my ability to be involved in campus life. I am a part of Student Senate, programming board and the orientation leader team. I also participate in Bible Study every week and other activities. As a programming board representative, I helped plan events for the campus. Orientation leaders help with events welcoming new students and student senate has regular meetings and is very involved in every aspect of college life. The campus is accessible, and people are always willing to hold doors open for me. I really appreciate and am blessed that I am valued as an individual. They genuinely care and embody inclusion in all things! I want other students to have the same experiences as me!”
