Students Changing The Way People See Ability

Level The Playing Field For All

Imagine for a moment that Villanova as a completely Barrier Free campus in all aspects of the words. Sounds like a lofty goal doesn't it? It may be, but anything is possible for the Villanova Community. Many have seen firsthand what Villanovans can do when they put their minds to it. As part of LEVEL, you will Bridge the gap between able-bodied community and the differently-abled community. Level wants to change the Campus Community Interaction to be all inclusive.

Through Education and Teamwork, you will learn how to effectively communicate and interact with each other through the establishment of a student network providing help in and out of the classroom. Whether it's helping with homework, hanging out on weekends, or just saying "hey how's it going?" on the rush to class, you will have an opportunity for unique Friendships.

Raising Awareness

Throughout the year, Level will raise Awareness by hosting speakers, having movie screenings, putting together events like dodgeball tournaments and 5k run/walks, speaking at local schools in Community Outreach, and engaging with university officials to initiate Change. You will engage in Service in a Leadership role on campus.
