Academic Access & Disability Resources
The Academic Access and Disability Resources Office (AADR) serves all students who seek academic support, disability services, and inclusion in our Davidson community.
AADR staff offices are now located on the 3rd floor of the Watson Life Sciences Building (Suite 338).
The AADR Office is part of the Student Life Division and collaborates with the John Crosland, Jr. Center for Teaching and Learning by performing two functions. First, we provide academic support to students through individual coaching, workshops, and small-group work, enabling them to master effective academic strategies and best utilize available resources.
Second, we support students with disabilities and those who suspect a disability work with other offices and departments across campus to provide equal access to the college's services, programs, and activities.
An emerging functional area of AADR is to engage the campus community in diversity, equity, and inclusion work as it relates to students’ disability identities. We provide programming and support initiatives throughout the year and individual support to students as needed.
Current students seeking academic support and/or disability services can connect with AADR by completing a registration form in Accommodate.
Please log in using your Davidson credentials to complete the form before scheduling an intake meeting with an AADR staff member.
Davidson students meeting with AADR for the first time should schedule an intake meeting. Students seeking academic accommodations should schedule with either Mariana Gomez-Brayboy or Catherine Morell-Nickle. Students seeking academic coaching should schedule with either Mariana Gomez-Brayboy or Kathryn Brown.
Once a registered AADR student determines what type of meeting they would like to request (i.e., intake, academic accommodations, academic coaching, etc), they may select a staff member's name to schedule a meeting.
For all other inquiries, please email AADR@davidson.edu or call the phone numbers listed on our staff page.
