Multicultural Affairs wants to work with you to make your events more accessible and challenge ableism on campus and beyond! We are seeking representatives from student organizations and administrative offices to serve as their team’s disability justice liaison. 

We will be offering training to liaisons on disability justice, ways to utilize our new Planning An Accessible Event guide and strategies for combating ableism in club/office procedures, culture and norms.

Student groups who participate will be eligible for co-sponsorship opportunities for events planned utilizing accessibility best practices. All participants will receive disability justice resources and have opportunities to connect with Multicultural Affairs staff as they implement accessible practices. 

Questions? Email diversityed@columbia.edu.
