The PMC provides a variety of support services to students with disabilities, including one-on-one learning support, note taking, adaptive equipment loans and sign language interpretation. The celebration will feature updates about the PMC’s programs and growth.
In the current academic year alone, almost 90 volunteer opportunities took place and more than 2,000 note-taking requests were filled. This level of success would not have been possible without the efforts of each of the PMC’s volunteers.
