Mission
The Center for Disability Resources (CDR) advances disability as diversity and adopts an equity-minded approach. Rooted in our core beliefs, CDRs mission is to promote practices that identify and dismantle structural and attitudinal barriers for both the University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
We actively promote access and inclusion as a shared responsibility and engage with campus stakeholders to anticipate and remove environmental barriers that impact living and learning. We support faculty in the classroom, encourage universal design and when necessary, provide individual accommodations when barriers cannot be eliminated.
Vision
Syracuse University’s Center for Disability Resources values diversity, equity and inclusion and seeks to be a national leader in the advancement of disability equity in higher education. We endeavor to advance disability as a rich expression of diversity and disrupt ableism in all its forms.
