Disability Pride

DASS' Disability Pride Mission:

We believe disability is an important part of our diverse campus. We are committed to creating a space where all students see themselves here, are valued, and proud of who they are. We celebrate students' strengths, honor their achievements, and support them in building confidence at CSUCI.
