Don’t miss the National Disability Center’s Fall 2025 Townhall! This session will feature a panel discussion on the development of the Faculty Accessibility Measure (FAM) and how it connects to the National Report on Disabled College Student Experiences. The conversation will highlight what these findings mean for students, faculty, and administrators — and how the Center is using both measures to shape the future of accessibility in higher education.
