Meet the Accessibility Team

Bailey Gardner
Student Accessibility Advisor

Bailey has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Psychology with a minor in Sociology from STU (2013).

During her time as a student, Bailey experienced the support, encouragement, and friendly atmosphere that the STU community has to offer. Within her role, she hopes to provide others with the same positive experience and assist students with permanent and/or temporary disabilities to navigate and succeed in their university careers.

"I am here to meet with you one-on-one to discuss your accommodation needs and develop an individualized accommodation plan that works best for you! My goal is to create a supportive and comfortable environment to answer any questions you may have regarding accommodations that we offer, the use of adaptive technology, resources that are available and so much more. I look forward to hearing from you!"
