The Disability Services team is such a welcoming and diverse group of people.  I am extremely fortunate to have utilized their department's accommodations as soon as I entered into UMass as an undergraduate student.  The staff are compassionate, caring and it is obvious they love their work.  I have been welcomed as an employee in various positions over the years and feel that my voice and perspective as a disabled student and employee on campus is valued. This department definitely knows their stuff, and they do everything they can to provide a supportive environment for students.
