CHRISTI MATHIS SIU Media Services CARBONDALE — Southern Illinois University Carbondale was included among the Top 20 Wheelchair Friendly Colleges recently by New Mobility Magazine and the United Spinal Association. “Their ranking method is more rigorous than that of many other lists of this type, so this is a real feather in our cap,” Lisa Caringer, director of Disability Support Services, said. “SIU has long enjoyed a reputation for excellence in access for wheelchair users. We were an early leader in removing physical barriers and assisting disabled college students, who have been traditionally marginalized.” In the report, Jean Dobbs, project director for Top 20 Wheelchair Friendly Colleges, praised SIU’s culture.
