Disability Action Month
Disability Action Month is Western Washington University’s month-long celebration for our disabled community. Throughout October, the Disability Access Center and Disability Outreach Center, in collaboration with our partners such as the Institute for Critical Disability Studies and the Career Services Center, will have a variety of events and programs for students, faculty, and staff. We invite everyone to celebrate our disabled community and continue to learn about the issues we face and how we can make Western and the rest of the world a more accessible place. For its inaugural year, this year’s theme for Disability Action Month is ‘Disability Justice in Action.’ Events during Disability Action Month include the raising of the disability pride flag on the University flagpoles, an Accessibility 101 workshop, The Centers Lunch and Learn: Disability, the Job Search, Employment, and You!, Disability Studies and Action Collaborative (DSAC) UnConference including a keynote speech and disability pop-up mini-fest featuring a student film produced by the Disability Outreach Center, and more!
Other Disability Action Month events:
