Academic Accommodations and How They Translate to the Workforce

Student Veterans often qualify for academic accommodations, so we've assembled a group of experts to discuss what that could look like for you and how to navigate establishing accommodations for your studies and beyond.

  • Allison Wang and Maya Guerrant from Golden Gate University's Office of Accessible Education will discuss what accommodations are available in a classroom environment and how to initiate that process.

  • Kevin Cleveland, Partner/Attorney at Young, Cohen & Durrett, will discuss the legal ins and outs of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including when to disclose to an employer the need for accommodations.

  • Jill New, Career Programs and Outreach Manager at GGU's Helen Diller Center for Veterans US Military Service, will help us bridge the gap with resources that can translate academic accommodations into workplace accommodations.

If you've ever been curious about your service-related disability and whether or not there are accommodations available to you that can help, you want to tune in!
