“Before learning about Athabasca University, I had given up on my academic career.”

Struggling with learning disabilities, traditional education led to setbacks for Deanna Malanchen. AU's flexible online platform reignited her passion, allowing her to balance work and her studies. And support from Accessibility Services—a team committed to accommodating students with disabilities to ensure they have equitable access to AU's learning environment—was invaluable in helping her overcome obstacles and gain confidence.

Now halfway through her political science degree, Malanchen has leveraged her education to assist small businesses in Alberta with digital transformations. For her, #AthabascaU is not just about obtaining a credential, it's about empowerment and community support.

Here's to the journey ahead for Deanna! LINK IN BIO
