What is Radical MacACCESS (RMA)?
Radical MacACCESS was founded in 2018, in collaboration with a student advisory group, to create a specific space for students, staff and faculty who identify as disabled at Macalester, promote inclusion, and think "Radically" about access (and not just accommodation). Past programming has included keynote speakers, community panel discussions, "speak out" events, identity-intersectionality programming, assistive technology seminars and a comprehensive display of disability activism at Mac.
