Speaker(s): Brianna Blaser, PhD and Kayla Brown, PhD (University of Washington)
Date: Aug 05, 2026
Grant: AccessUR2PhD
This webinar will focus on practical strategies and recommendations for creating more inclusive research opportunities for students with disabilities. Since the fall of 2024, the AccessUR2PhD program has engaged with undergraduates, grad students, and faculty in computing fields via mentoring circles, focus groups, and discussions to learn more about the experiences of students with disabilities in research. In this webinar, we’ll share the strategies that students and mentors identified as most effective in supporting students with disabilities on research and graduate school pathways.
