*A person with a disability is defined as someone who has, or considers themselves to have, a long-term or recurring issue that impacts one or more activities that others may consider to be a daily function.  This definition also includes the perception among others that a disability exists.  We know that 90% of disabilities on campus are invisible, and candidates with all disabilities are encouraged to apply.
