Registration is now open for our fifth annual Digital Equity and Inclusion Week, coming up March 2 – 6, 2026. This week-long series of virtual sessions and workshops is free and open to all UMass Amherst students, faculty, and staff.
Welcome to Spring 2026! As we begin a new semester, we are excited to welcome both new and returning members to our campus community. UMass Amherst is committed to advancing the inclusive and equitable well-being of everyone on our campus. To that end, I would like (re)introduce you to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access (EOA); who we are and how we support our community. My name is Kerri Tillett, and I am the University’s Title IX/ADA/504 Coordinator.
Come to the Disability Writing Workshop starting February 11th, 2025 from 5:30-6:30 on Zoom!
These writingworkshops centered on exploring disability through writing. It's open to all, you don’t have to consider yourself a writer. We will read some short works by disabled authors, respond to prompts, and have some free-writing time. We'll have one standalone workshop to gauge people’s interests, and at that meeting we’ll decide how/when we want to continue the workshops.
The SACL’ s Advocacy, Inclusions, and Support Programs (AISP) are excited to share with the UMass Community that Disability Community Space in Goodell 331 is now available to be booked!
Want to know more about accessibility on campus? Need to talk about an accessibility issue? Or just need a space to be in conversation about accessibility?

This event hopes to highlight EOA's and Disability Services' roles in supporting undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities and sharing opportunities to build community on campus.
