The Weingarten Center provides academic support and disability services with a commitment to access and holistic care for Penn students. We foster student learning, development, and self-advocacy through learning consultations, peer education, and an interactive accommodations process. In collaboration with students, staff, and faculty, we provide services and programs designed to remove barriers, build scaffolds for learning, and create a more inclusive and empowering educational experience.
