Welcome to SHIFT: Your orientation to AAS
Whether you are entering your first semester or pursuing graduate studies, SHIFT is a two-part orientation program designed specifically for students with disabilities.
SHIFT, at its core, equips you with the essential information you need to navigate AAS while also welcoming you into a larger disability community on campus.
SHIFT is a space to connect, learn, and feel grounded as you enter this next chapter.
