I am so excited to see the Disability Awareness Track, I created featured in @UCSanDiego This Week & to have @Olas_Truth to share Black Disabled History with us. It is an Untold story that I look forward to hearing her share. This is open to the @UofCalifornia system as well. 1/

Alt text cont.: explained Nolan, who is studying human health psychology. “It is an opportunity for students who live with chronic health conditions, whether physical or mental, to come and understand more about the Disability community that is beginning here at UC San Diego.” 2/

If you register for one or more of our events, please share which event you are most excited about and why?

I think that a full week of events around Disability Awareness on a college campus is quite groundbreaking. We even have leaders from @APHADisability coming!

For those of you in the disability community, this may sound like it is not for us. More so for non-disabled people to become aware of us. Actually this week is a bit of both. All events were designed by disabled students for disabled students and for the recognition by the

6/

@UCSanDiego community and the broader @UofCalifornia community that the Disability Community exists. This is the beginning of our time to thrive as a community whether you are registered for services with your office for disabled students or not. This week is for us

7/

as a community and I hope that you will register today for one or more of these events. To live with chronic health conditions, mental or physical, in the absence of a community that understands is something that hurts my heart and I want you to know that you are not alone.

8/

Disabled graduate students, staff and faculty; if you want to come to any of the events you are more than welcome as well to join us. Our virtual events will have live captioning and ASL interpretation provided.

Disabled staff and faculty, a have question for you

9/

If you could give one piece of advice as a disabled faculty or staff member to a disabled undergraduate or graduate student, what would you say and why?

Bonus poll: When you where a disabled student did you have a disabled mentor to give you advice?

To learn more about the call to Disability as diversity that is equitable and as inclusive as any other group in the diversity statements of the @UofCalifornia and its campuses, please read this article by @lilah_burke for @insidehighered:

As we consider reopening, please take time to consider the needs of Disabled students and our goal to thrive in our careers & to Recover with Equity (@GavinNewsom). Thanks again to @lilah_burke & @insidehighered for amplifying this issues
