Be a Disability Ally! Workshop Tuesday Oct 25 for SLI credit

10/24/11

Contributed by Rebecca Borowski

Come to a one hour presentation on Being a Disability Ally for Disability Awareness Month presented by Patrick Walsh (from the Diversity Awareness Committee) and get Student Leadership Institute credit! 

Being a Disability Ally- Tuesday October 25- Over Lunch Hour (12:05-1:10)-Williams 221 

The goal of this session is to understand the definition of disability and its relationship in American Culture.  Why do we say the "R" word so much? How do we define normal as it relates to ableism?  Through personal stories, research and media we will reveal disability in America.  Participants will walk away knowing how to be advocates for everyone regardless if a person considers themselves disabled or temporarily abled.
 

Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Patrick Walsh in Residential Life at pwalsh@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-1109. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. Thank you!
