Disability & Inclusion Month
11 Oct 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
October is Disability & Inclusion Month
Individuals with disabilities intersect all pathways of life — across religions, gender identities, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic status. However, many of us still lack the grasp of the complexity, depth, and history of individuals with disabilities. Join DSS throughout the month of October to celebrate individuals with disabilities and embrace disability as a natural part of our diversity. Engage in activities and conversations to learn how to build supportive, inclusive, and welcoming environments.
