Testimonials

"I use a wheelchair and is very grateful for the support offered by volunteers. University life would have been "much harder" without the help of volunteers who follow me to classes, take notes for me and help me with research. The centre provides a level of comfort for me as I have met a lot of friends at the facility".

Dana-Gaye Weller

Second-Year Psychology Student

"It is from here that the advocacy is done as to what the university should provide for students with special needs and I have benefited from the results of their advocacy,"

Sean Harvey

Post-Graduate Student
