The Office of AccessAbility Services (OAS) collaborates with Goodwin’s diverse community to ensure that all aspects of campus life — learning, working and living — are universally accessible. OAS provides resources, education, and direct services so that Goodwin students may have greater opportunity to achieve equity and social justice. OAS leads the campus community in its commitments to recognize disability as a valued aspect of diversity, to embrace access as a matter of social justice, and to design more welcoming and inclusive environments. OAS promotes self-advocacy, disability pride, self-determination, and universally accessible design principles, so that everyone has full access to institutional life.
