Hey there,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nick Keough, and I am the Legislative Director for the Oregon Student Association.

I am reaching out today to inform you of an upcoming imitative that aims to amplify the voices and experiences of disabled students across Oregon’s colleges and universities.

Next week, the Oregon Student Association (OSA)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.orstudents.org/__;!!C5qS4YX3!CP6vn9HIYZDVNnxIJvsPg2K_HsEFdTWvyu45waMRpiyKTao7ubKqzeIVNbYGsRM5gVoinkwRROsgvpTELQ$>, Disability Rights Oregon (DRO)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.droregon.org/__;!!C5qS4YX3!CP6vn9HIYZDVNnxIJvsPg2K_HsEFdTWvyu45waMRpiyKTao7ubKqzeIVNbYGsRM5gVoinkwRROvJQto_iA$>, and the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.oregon.gov/highered/pages/default.aspx__;!!C5qS4YX3!CP6vn9HIYZDVNnxIJvsPg2K_HsEFdTWvyu45waMRpiyKTao7ubKqzeIVNbYGsRM5gVoinkwRROvGmxAuIw$> will launch a statewide survey of disabled students that seeks to gather valuable insights into the effectiveness of disability accommodations, the accessibility of campus environments, and the overall campus climate for individuals with disabilities.

The survey will be distributed electronically from May 15th until June 28th and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Participating in this survey is voluntary and responses will be kept confidential and anonymized to protect the privacy of participants.

As valued stakeholders in supporting disabled students, we would like to invite your office or organization to participate in this important initiative by sharing the survey with the students you may be connected to. Your participation and assistance in distributing the survey will be instrumental in ensuring that we reach a diverse range of voices and perspectives from across the state.

We believe that this survey will provide valuable data and insights that can inform advocacy efforts, policy changes, and institutional improvements to create a more inclusive and accessible higher education environment for all students in Oregon.

Please stay tuned for further communication from OSA, DRO, and HECC with details on how to access and distribute the survey. If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter, and we look forward to your support in making this survey a success! 😊
