Accessibility Awareness Week spotlight: Disability Alliance and Caucus

From: Disability Alliance and Caucus

The Disability Alliance is a registered student organization at Virginia Tech that collaborates with the Disability Caucus, representing faculty, staff, and graduate student concerns. These organizations provide a safe space for individuals with disabilities within our community and their allies to come together and engage in community building, mutual support, and disability activism. The community accepts the diversity of disability experiences and welcomes everyone with mental illnesses, physical, developmental, intellectual, and learning disabilities, chronic illnesses, and/or other hidden or visible disabilities to meet and work with them to bring accessibility to the forefront of conversations.

Virginia Tech Accessibility Awareness Week is modeled after Global Accessibility Awareness Day. The goal of this week is to provide learning opportunities and resources that engage the campus community to think, discuss, learn, and take action regarding digital and physical accessibility. The week is sponsored by the Office for Equity and Accessibility, Campus Accessibility Working Group, and Technology-enhanced Learning and Online Strategies.
