Student Organizations

Get Involved

We have two student organizations for you to be involved with. Student Organizations are a great way to connect with others, learn from one another, and promote an inclusive community for all.

Disability Rights, Education, Activism, & Mentoring Group (DREAM) 

Mission

DREAM LogoDREAM’s mission is to advance the interests of students with disabilities and their allies in higher education institutions across the United States.  DREAM advocates for student rights, increased accessibility, social and policy change, and support and mentorship to campus disability groups and individual students.  We hope to empower students with disabilities to work for local and national change, encourage the development of intersectional disability culture and peer support, and advance the study of disability within academia by serving as an online disability cultural center where all students are welcome.
