Welcome to the 2009 Disability Awareness
Month Diversability Web site.
October is Disability Awareness Month at Penn State. The theme of the month is “Diversability,” which emphasizes the varying abilities and talents of people with disabilities. The intent of the Diversability events is to promote an atmosphere where individuals are comfortable discussing and exploring questions about accessibility, equality, and inclusion for people with disabilities. Penn State looks forward to celebrating disability awareness month with you! Diversability events are sponsored by Penn State’s Disability Advisory Group, a consortium of individuals from across the University working together to enhance disability initiatives at Penn State.
Please stop by the Office for Disability Services in 116 Boucke Building to pick up a burgundy ribbon to show your support for Disability Awareness Month.
