Mission
The purpose of this organization is to further encourage DREAM's mission to promote (Illness and) Disability Rights, Education, Advocacy & Activism, and Mentorship, while providing opportunities to build a disability community on our college campus for a social network of people with disabilities and their allies. We aim to create a space by and for disabled students, where they can connect and no longer struggle with the only options on campus relating to disability being for community service or legal accommodations.
