Guest Services

The Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) and Athletic Department at Allegheny College are dedicated to ensuring nondiscrimination and equal access to all programs, services, and activities for qualified students with disabilities. Students, faculty, staff and community members with disabilities have access and opportunities to engage in the full range of experiences available to all at Allegheny including curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities.

The Director of Disability Services is committed to working with students, staff, faculty and community members in developing and implementing the most appropriate strategies for a successful experience while maintaining the academic standards and integrity of the mission of the College. Understanding that an informed college community is better able to address the multiple issues related to disabilities, the Director strives to keep all constituencies abreast of the most up-to-date information regarding related laws and regulations and the means to achieve compliance and beyond.  The Director of Disability Services works hand in hand with the Associate Director of Athletics and Recreation Services to make sure any and all concerns are addressed to make sure all members of the community have proper access to both the Wise Sport & Fitness Center and Robertson Sports Complex.
