DOC Affinity Centered Programs
These spaces center certain populations. But, like all Western Washington University and Disability Outreach Center events, they are open for all. Anyone who does not identify with the affinity is asked to come open-minded and as an ally to support the people with the identity. If you are interested in starting another Affinity Centered Space, please email disability.outreach@wwu.edu.
You are welcome to bring a friend, come and go as needed, whatever you wish!
