SSD Appreciation Award

Faculty and staff play an integral part in making sure that students receive their accommodations, and every semester there are faculty and staff that go above and beyond the call of duty to help students with disabilities. To recognize these outstanding members of the UT community, SSD students nominate faculty and staff who have made a significant contribution to their lives as students at the University of Texas. As a token of appreciation, SSD delivers a gift of thanks to nominees at the end of each semester. If you have had a great experience with a faculty or staff member, please let us know and we will do our best to show them our thanks.
