Calling all ODS students: SGA Town Meeting on DIVERSITY, Wed March 2
Please attend this all-important Town Hall mtg sponsored by SGA to be held in the Diana Event Oval at 6pm on 3/2/11. As all of you know — Barnard's longstanding commitment to diversity has always been inclusive of disability as well — so we hope you'll be able to attend to share with SGA, students and administrators the importance of making sure that any discussion of diversity should always be inclusive of the issue of disability and accessibility — both physical and attitudinal — as well. Feel free to stop by ODS to distribute our *Attitudes* and *dna* buttons if you like!
Update on the green Sulzberger (temporary) ramp
Thanks to all of you who have either stopped by ODS and/or contacted our friends in Facilities Services to inquire about the recent removal of the Sulzberger ramp. We are working closely with Facilities Services to re-install the ramp — as well as plan for a more permanent ramp which can withstand the elements. We will provide an additional update shortly — and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to help correct the problem.
