Interview: Beckwith Students | Voices of Accessibility

Interviewees: Grace Stark, Charlie Krupka, Owen "OC" Chaidez

Beckwith Residential Support Services provides support for Nugent Hall residents with physical disabilities. In this Voices of Accessibility spotlight video, CITL’s Bob Dignan talks to three students about why they chose the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the fun and interesting experiences they’ve had adjusting to life on this campus, and some of their goals for the future.

 The Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) in collaboration with the (dis)Ability Design Studio and Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is looking for students to share their stories about accessibility on this campus and how they are rising above perceived limitations. The series is designed to highlight lived experiences about adjusting to and overcoming barriers. We welcome stories about well-being, belonging, learning, and innovating. Stories will be shared on multiple websites and may be compiled into a future documentary. Interested? Submit brief info at the following webform: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/1453999101
