Students & Alumni with Disabilities

The ToppelCareer Center is committed to supporting students and alumni with both visible and non-visible disabilities throughout their career exploration, preparation, and success process. We understand the challenges, concerns, and questions you may face regarding disclosure, reasonable accommodations, and your legal rights as you navigate the job search process. We encourage you to know your rights, explore your options, and utilize your resources to help you achieve your goal of securing meaningful employment in a workplace culture that values your unique set of knowledge, skills, and abilities.

The resources and articles provided throughout this identity-based page offer access to platforms and valuable information aimed to meet your unique job search, networking, interviewing, and career needs as a student or alum with a visible or non-visible disability.
