Campus Life

As we begin the new year, many high school seniors are receiving college acceptance letters. For many people with disabilities, especially significant physical disabilities, selecting a college and then attending that college comes with added complexities. They are often faced with having to advocate for themselves and their access needs in a whole new way, while also discovering what their needs are as disabled young adults. And all this while going to classes and having the college experience.

For more on all this, we’re joined by two guests. Jessica Roeckl-Navazio is a senior at Sacramento State University, studying sociology. Gus Albertsen attended Santa Barbara City College and California State University at Monterey Bay, majoring in Environmental Science. He graduated in 2023.
