Today we are talking with Dr. David J. Thomas.  Dr. Thomas has been at West Chester University since the beginning of 2020 and has been in the field of disability advocacy and support for more than a decade. Before coming to West Chester and alongside his disability work, he was a member of the English faculties at Temple University, University of the Arts, Virginia Wesleyan University, Old Dominion University and City University of Seattle.

He holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education, an M.A. in Applied Linguistics, and a B.A. in Dramaturgy from Old Dominion University in his hometown of Norfolk, VA. He completed additional graduate work at the Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute at Stanford University and the Institute on Disability at Temple University.

Today  Dr. Thomas tells us about the services his office provides to college students:  he works with students and their instructors directly to provide an optimal environment to further their education despite any limitations they may have. His dedication to the disabled student is truly admirable!
