Through individual and group discussions, guest speakers, films, and presentations focused on disability justice, empowerment, self-care, student success, career exploration, community building, healing, and creativity, Defining Disability By and For US! offers a safe space for students coping and confronting ableism, intersectional oppression, and other vulnerabilities. With a holistic approach, we will empower all students to navigate systemic ableism and embody the core principles of disability justice.
