Advisory Committee

The San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS) Advisory Committee convenes annually to provide guidance and direction to the DSPS program and the colleges related to the needs of the community. The Advisory Committee is a mechanism to:

  • Improve communication with our community partners;
  • Solicit the confidence of the public;
  • Obtain valuable input on the programs and services available to students with disabilities;
  • Include the students’ voice in the process of maintaining a strong DSPS program.

We are grateful to our Advisory partners who participate based upon our shared goals of increasing pathways to employment for students and graduates with disabilities within the San Diego community.
