Posted: Wednesday, April 6, 2022Student Accessibility Services Inducts the Class of 2022 into the Delta Alpha Pi International Honor Society for Students with Disabilities
Student Accessibility Services at Buffalo State College is privileged to induct the 2022 class of the Epsilon Chi chapter of the Delta Alpha Pi International Honor Society.
Delta Alpha Pi International Honor Society was founded in 2004 to recognize the academic accomplishments of students with disabilities. In addition to recognizing academic achievement, Delta Alpha Pi seeks to lessen and eventually eliminate the stigma and negative stereotyping that have been associated historically with disability. The members of Delta Alpha Pi challenge society to view disability as an aspect of diversity, existing on a continuum throughout an individual’s lifespan, and encourage the implementation of universal design, so that the environment (learning, physical, attitudinal), not the individual, adjusts to provide access to all individuals.
Students who become members of Delta Alpha Pi identify themselves as honor students who have a disability. By their open acknowledgment of their disability status, they serve as role models for other students with disabilities and advance the goals of Delta Alpha Pi on their campuses and in the community.
Each year Student Accessibility Services will continue to recognize these students’ academic accomplishments by honoring and acknowledging their determination and perseverance. This year’s class will receive a Delta Alpha Pi letter of recognition and a Certificate of Initiation.
Please visit the Student Accessibility Services website to see the complete list of students who wish to be recognized from all induction years.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of these amazing students!
