Sophia Davit, Daniela De La Torre, and Vianca Zavala, who are students at UCSD, are conducting research among UCSD undergraduate and graduate students to find out more about the relationship between perceived campus accessibility barriers and student experience among individuals with mobility challenges at UCSD.

The purpose of this study is to help us better understand how inaccessibility and physical on-campus barriers at UCSD impact student’s academic performance, social life, and mental-wellbeing. Through our research, we hope to foster dialogue between students and university administration about ways to create a more inclusive UCSD campus environment, and to inspire future improvements that prioritize accessibility for students with mobility impairments.

If you agree to be in this study, the following will occur: You will be asked to fill out an online survey and the survey may take about 5-10 minutes to complete. The questions will ask you about your background, about your experiences regarding campus accessibility, and its effects on your life or the lives of others you know.

Data collections will be kept confidential, and all survey responses will remain anonymous. Only the students listed above, the course teaching assistant, and the course instructor will have access to the data. Your data will only be used for class research purposes. Your participation is entirely voluntary. You may refuse to participate or withdraw at any time without penalty. If you want additional information or have questions about this research, you can contact the course instructor, Dr. Nguyen-Grozavu, at fnguyengrozavu@ucsd.edu.
