About Us

San Jose State University's EARC was established in 1992, and was formerly known as the Disabled Employee Assistance Program (DEAP).  The program began serving approximately 150 employees with disabilities.  In 2007, the DEAP changed its name to the EARC to continue to foster inclusive environment for employees with disabilities.  Over the years, the EARC has served over 500 employees including faculty and staff at SJSU.
