DAU Purpose:
The Disability Advocate Union has been established for the purposes of serving the
under-represented disabled population at UMBC and creating social community for and
around it. We seek to advocate for students for accessibility and accommodations, to
elevate and raise the voices of disabled students, to raise awareness of the disabled
community and to educate our UMBC community about disability and how to
accommodate, and to fight against misperceptions about disability. Additionally, we seek
to provide community for people who may not have had or experienced it before, to host
not just accessible but welcoming events for people of all disabilities, to bring educational
opportunities to the disabled population that is relevant to their interests, wants, and needs,
that are not being provided by other organizations on campus, and to provide a space for
discussion for disabled people about topics related to disability that may be perceived as
uncomfortable or taboo in other social groups
