Welcome from President Drew Gilpin Faust

With a growing number of people who have disabilities joining the Harvard community -- students, faculty, and staff -- it is especially important for all of us to understand and support the particular needs and rights of these individuals. Toward this end, Accessible Education Office (AEO) serves as a valuable source of information and guidance for both students and other Harvard affiliates.

This Web site, which was prepared by AEO, provides an introduction to the capabilities of AEO, and suggests different ways that the University can be helpful in ensuring that all of our students can participate fully in the life of the University. Some of the issues addressed may be new to you. All of the issues merit your consideration. Thank you for joining me in making Harvard an accessible and welcoming place for all students, faculty and staff.

Drew Gilpin Faust
President, Harvard University
