Drop in for our lunchtime lecture, “Disability Rights in the Workplace,” by Professor Molly McKeon, TOMORROW, 10/23/2024, from 12 to 1:30pm in Moore Arts Cafe. PC School of Business students will earn FLIP points for attendance. This workshop is designed for students, faculty, and staff who are interested in learning about the process of requesting accommodations in the workplace (i.e., job, internship, clinical placements). It will cover disability law, employee rights to access, and resources to support advocacy utilizing a strengths-based framework.
**Please note that the workshop is for informational purposes and will generalize processes and resources across workplaces. This will not specifically address any Providence College processes.**
