We hope to help facilitate connections and new friendships amongst scholars with disabilities and allies, and we are excited to bond over drinks and our shared experiences navigating UVA!
Keep in mind, we define “disabilities” very broadly in the Echols community and at UVA. We understand the unique experiences of scholars with physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental health conditions, and learning differences, and we’re excited to bring people from all of these groups together.
Even if you don’t currently receive SDAC accommodations, but you want to hear from scholars who do about their experiences with the accommodation process (with or without a medically documented disability), feel free to drop by this chat and learn more! We also encourage anyone who wants to support their fellow scholars better to drop by and learn more about how to be an ally, such as by volunteering to be an SDAC notetaker or peer tutor!
