Individuals who would like to provide input are invited to complete a survey. These comments and opinions will help provide valuable information regarding how McNeese State University can better serve individuals with disabilities.

Surveys are available at these campus locations:

• McNeese Post Office
• Student Health Center

The surveys can also be accessed at www.mcneese.edu/ada under the “Links” section. The response deadline is Friday, Nov. 6.
