Our Mission
The office of Access and Neurodiverse Student Success partners with disabled and neurodivergent students to cultivate self-advocacy skills, facilitate academic accommodations, and develop learning strategies that empower students to achieve their full potential. Grounded in compliance with legal requirements and driven by a commitment to student growth, we work to advance disability rights consciousness while supporting students in their academic journey. Through individualized services, skill-building opportunities, and campus-wide collaboration, we ensure students have the resources, knowledge, and confidence to succeed at RPI and beyond.
Our Vision
We envision RPI as a campus where disability and neurodivergence are recognized as valued forms of human diversity—where "We choose you and you belong" is lived daily through accessible design, inclusive practices, and a vibrant community that celebrates physical and neurological differences. We aspire to transform our campus culture from one where students must continually request access to one where universal design principles proactively remove barriers. In this future, disabled and neurodivergent students are not only accommodated but celebrated as essential contributors to RPI's learning community, and all students graduate with the self-advocacy skills to navigate, challenge, and transform systems throughout their lives.
