This program is housed in the Undocumented Resource Center and seeks to generate a community of allies for undocumented students, create an understanding of undocumented and mix-status family students’ background and experiences that may produce unique needs, and form an awareness of policies that impact undocumented and mixed-status students.
Disability Ally is hosted by the Student Ability Success Center (SASC) and is designed to establish disability partners and advocates across the San Diego State University campus. Upon completion of the Ability Ally seminar, allies will be able to create a safe, supportive, and understanding environment for individuals with diverse abilities. In addition to supporting students who are already connected with SASC, an ally will have the knowledge to support and provide resources to students who are not yet connected with the Student Ability Success Center. Ability Ally sessions are fun and interactive. The seminar will provide a variety of disability-related topics, including the accommodation process, diagnoses, the impact of labeling, and disability etiquette. For additional information and/or to request accessibility accommodations to fully participate in this seminar, please contact the Ability Ally team at [email protected].
