Disability Awareness Week Promo

Our second Week of Change for the Spring 2021 semester will focus on Disability Awareness.

Our Week of Change schedule contains events in different formats so that participants understand the positive impact they can have on people with different abilities, recognize the different experiences students might have attending Kent State, and advocating to their local public officials by writing letters on topics like mental health, school funding, and COVID-19 relief. 

Our goal is for participants in our Week of Change to understand how they can best integrate action toward justice for people with different abilities into their day-to-day lives.
