Kristin Roush joined Student Disability Access Center in January 2021 and serves as the d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Coordinator and Accessibility Specialist.

She coordinates services, provides outreach, and promotes access for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing students, faculty, staff, and visitors for University-sponsored courses, programs, meetings, and events.  As an accessibility specialist, she works to implement accommodations and other services for students with disabilities and facilitates communication and collaboration between students, faculty, and staff at the University to ensure that these accommodations are met.
