About this episode
Kyra Loughlin discusses her capstone project focused on making Tri Delta's residential spaces more inclusive and accessible through Universal Design.
Meet Kyra Loughlin, James Madison. As part of her capstone project, Kyra spent 14 weeks with Tri Delta Housing, where her mission was to make Tri Delta’s residential spaces more inclusive and accessible for all members—regardless of ability. Her work, rooted in the principles of Universal Design, has already earned her national recognition with the Rutgers OTD Capstone Award for Leadership, Advocacy, and Collaboration. In this episode, we explore how Kyra’s Tri Delta experience helped shape her approach—and how she’s redesigning belonging through inclusive design.
