Abstract
Accessibility for students with disabilities on university campuses is important to our field as student affairs professionals because students with disabilities make a growing population of the student body on university and college campuses (Burgstahler, & Moore, 2009). I believe that it takes someone who passionately cares to make a difference in the higher education community. A value that is significant to understand me would be my fierce belief that all people deserve a chance to earn a higher education regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, and ability levels. I believe a chance at higher education is not only growth for an individual, but an opportunity for a better tomorrow and a better community through educated citizenship. Experiences throughout my entire higher education career have shaped my perception of this concern for accessibility of students with disabilities in higher education.
