A group of adults stand and sit together outside the Sixty Eight Street Hunter College subway station entrance in New York City. Several people are wheelchair users and others are standing beside them smiling. One person holds a sign that reads Fully Accessible Sixty Eight Street Hunter College.

A snowy mountain range with two climbers standing on different peaks. The climber on the left is in grayscale and has their arms raised in celebration. The climber on the right is bright red and bent forward while climbing, with three large red spikes sticking out of their back. Two graduation caps are placed on separate mountain peaks. The background is blurry and looks like shelves or a dark room.

A wall display of clear brochure holders mounted on a bright red wall. Some slots contain printed handouts from a student accessibility services office, while others are empty. A small flyer at the bottom features a smiling woman with text about academic support. The edge of a beige lamp is visible in the lower right corner.

A brick building with large windows and a curved sign that reads USC Suzanne Dworak Peck School of Social Work. Sunlight and tree shadows fall across the building’s exterior.

Large lecture hall filled with students watching a presentation. A speaker stands at the front near two large screens displaying the same image of a man standing in front of a burning building.
