Diversability

Diversability represents a group of students who seek to create spaces to discuss ability, disability, access, and inclusion. Its members intend to provide support to each other, including sharing their lived experiences with disability in college, including the personal aspects of having a disability, and also recognizing disability as an important part of diversity. This group holds weekly meetings for members to safely share their perspectives and resources to improve everyone’s college experience.  The group also sponsors monthly events that can appeal to the entire UConn community in order to raise awareness about the experiences of people and college students with disabilities.  Events will include but are not limited to: open dialogues, sponsored speakers, and other disability awareness events intended to foster an inclusive and accepting community.
