2025 PTK Symposium Accessibility Statements and Resources

Accessibility Table

A table with information about the PTK Symposium’s accessibility resources will be located outside of the Prince George’s Room on Friday, March 7th, from 9 am - 12:40 pm. At 1 pm, the Accessibility Table will be located outside of the Benjamin Banneker Room on the second floor of Stamp. 

Statement on Scents 

To make our common place more accessible and comfortable for those of us with chemical sensitivities and chronic migraines, take steps to be fragrance-free or low-fragrance. At a minimum, skip your perfume, cologne, or strongly fragranced toiletries. Whenever possible, wash your clothes in fragrance-free detergent before the conference, and use unscented products.

Access Check-In Statement

We have tried to schedule frequent breaks throughout the symposium, but please take breaks as you need them. If at any point you need to leave a room or move around (for stretching, better visibility, etc), please feel free to do so.
