Faces of Ability

Living and working with a disability at UCSF

We all have differences – and we’re stronger because of them. Thanks to members of the UCSF community living with disabilities for helping to break down barriers, advocate for accommodations and reshape attitudes.

Building upon previous campaigns, we celebrate the ongoing efforts of our community to contribute to an inclusive and accessible UCSF.
