About Archer's University of Texas Student Challenge
Archer challenges you to recognize how un-flat the world really is. Trade your feet for wheels and try to navigate your world from a wheelchair. We will provide the wheelchair and the transformative experience all you need to bring an open mind, and a willingness to try a new experience.
We will be in front of PCL Library from 7:00AM to 6:00PM on Wednesday, November 20th, with 100+ wheelchairs. You can pick-up and return your wheelchair at any time between 7:00AM and 5:30PM based on the availability of wheelchairs which are assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
You will be fitted into a wheelchair by a professional, pick-up your goody bag and t-shirt, and take off in the wheelchair. We encourage you to attend classes, go to study sessions, roll around campus, have lunch, go to your dorm room and experience your daily routine in a wheelchair. When you are done, return the wheelchair back to us at the PCL Library. Take lots of photos or videos and tag us at #ArchersChallenge.
There is just one rule: be safe. You are responsible for your safety.
If you signed up to volunteer, please show up 5 minutes before your time slot begins and we will explain everything.
Remember - you are my ambassador when you are in a wheelchair.
Registration is FREE and open to all UT students, staff, and faculty.
