Strategic Goals Summary

Physical Access - Plan, implement and ensure appropriate physical access to all areas of Virginia Tech (on and off campus sites) including buildings, facilities, and learning environments through a strategic planning process. Implement this process using mapping, prioritizing, and tracking of physical access projects. Communicate these plans to all appropriate stakeholders.
Program Access - Develop and implement all activities, programs, and events to ensure accessibility for all individuals to improve the university climate and to recognize and respect issues that make those with disabilities vulnerable.
Electronic Access - Ensure accessibility of all electronic programs including distance learning, web-based classes, and on-line application.
Organizational Structure - Improve organizational structure and communication to ensure departmental awareness of campus services for people with disabilities and to enhance collaboration on disability issues.
Outreach - Improve the visibility and coordination of disability outreach programs (VATS, College Bound, OMA, HSHT, MAOP, Upward Bound) to build the capacity of creating regional solutions and funding for enhanced education, employment, and accessibility.
