Access needs

We want to ensure that your Dialogue Group is accessible for you and your group members. If there is anything you want to indicate at this early stage about your access needs, feel free to do so here or to reach out to Becoming Community co-administrators in person or at [email protected]. If meeting only at a certain time of day (perhaps because of child care or other concerns) is an access need for you, let us know, we want you to participate! Additionally, if you already know that you will be graduating, going on leave or abroad, and so forth, we welcome this information too.
