Disability Alliance

Mission

Founded in February of 2022, the Disability Alliance affinity group strives to create space for connection and advocacy for university employees who self-identify as having a disability and their allies. The group works to build a community where individuals feel safe self-identifying as having a disability and influence policies to support this group in their work at the university.
