We are a group of students dedicated to providing support and resources to our peers with disabilities. Our mission includes helping other students understand and accommodate those with disabilities. Additionally, we aim to raise awareness about various physical and non-physical disabilities. Our goal is to ensure inclusivity and success for all students.
The mission of our student club is to provide support and resources for students with disabilities, raise awareness about various disabilities, and promote inclusivity on campus.
Our vision is to create a campus where every student, regardless of their abilities, feels included, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

I am a student at Carlson studying Human Resources and Industrial Relations. I’m passionate about equitable treatment for people with disabilities and see myself as an advocate for minority groups. I enjoy board games and adventures. I always love to laugh and aim to leave a positive impact on others.

I’m a first-year Computer Science master's student with a passion for leveraging technology to improve healthcare. I am also deeply committed to making a meaningful and positive difference in people’s lives. As a student leader of the International Students with Disability group, I assess support needs for new students and create impactful communication materials to promote inclusivity. Outside of academics, I enjoy long walks, reading fiction, listening to music, dancing, and stargazing.
