| Long abstract | Strategies for improving students’ co-curricular lives are discussed, including both existing approaches that have been described in the literature and others that students have recommended. These include financial and career support services specifically for disabled students, strategies for improving the social climate and attitudes within the university, supports for the development of students’ social networks, campus mental and physical health care services, and strategies to develop critical skills and provide essential information for students. |
