“Accessibility of all kinds is essential to our family,” says Ali Mootz. “It’s why my husband and I started this fund at Manor College. And it’s more than the ability to maneuver physically–it’s about academics as well.” The Mootz Student Accessibility Fund will be used for students who have documented physical and/or learning challenges while pursuing academic studies. The need can be physical, affecting mobility, vision, hearing, or one that impacts their learning. “By starting this fund, we hope to raise revenue but also awareness for how accessibility issues can present challenges to our students,” says Ali. “By addressing these needs, we help everyone succeed.”
