Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable Monthly Network Meeting
College Access and Success & Students With Disabilities
December 19, 2024 | 9:00am to 11:00am via Zoom
When working with students with disabilities during the college access process, do you know if they have to disclose their disability on their college application? How do they access supportive services on their campuses? What do they need to know about federal legislation?
At this month’s PCPR network meeting, we’ll learn the answers to these questions and more. Hear from professionals who will share strategies and resources to best prepare students with disabilities for success in college. As usual, there will also be time following the presentations and Q & A session for college access/ financial aid updates and for attendees to share info about resources, activities and events happening at their organizations.
Presenters:
- Laura Craig, Learning Specialist (former Director of Learning Supports at The Crefeld School)
- Stacey Kunitz, Blue Moon Educational Consulting (former school counselor and past PACAC president)
- Richard Allegra, Director of Outreach & Information, National Center for College Students with Disabilities and Association on Higher Education & Disability

College Access & Success Supports for Students Experiencing Housing Insecurity

Each year, more than a million young people in the United States experience homelessness. Federal law provides support for some of these young people in their quest to pursue a college degree. How do we as college access professionals know which students are eligible for federal and other supports? What ARE those supports? Join us at this month’s PCPR network meeting as we welcome experts who will demystify these issues and share resources that will enable us to best serve our students. Be sure to bring your thoughts and questions.
