Student advisory boards can help you up your game

Some disability services offices may wonder whether students perceive these services to provide the access they seek. Others may wonder how they can better engage with the students they serve. One way to gather feedback is to create a student advisory board. I spoke to EJ Seibert of Smith College and Shelbie D’Annibale of Shippensburg University, directors who have found such boards to be beneficial to their work. (This column was inspired by D’Annibale's poster session at the summer AHEAD conference.)
