From Courses to Careers: Enhancing Accessibility in Physics - An Overview of the C2C Workshop

Recently, there have been many efforts to broaden participation in STEM to empower a diverse and knowledgeable workforce, which is reflected in the National Science Foundation (NSF) core values and strategic goals. As a part of these goals, efforts to create a more inclusive, accommodating, and accessible community are crucial for supporting disabled students, who make up 20% of undergraduate science & engineering students. The Courses 2 Careers (C2C) project aims to improve accessibility and inclusion in physics through a week-long workshop that facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships between disabled post-secondary physics students with faculty across multiple institutions. My contribution showcases the design of the upcoming C2C workshop and highlights the benefits of the collaboration between students and faculty as a part of the design of the workshop.
