Petition for a Disability Center on Campus!
Help us in garnering support for a designated space on campus for the disabled community here at UIowa.
Welcome to UISDAA!
UI Students for Disability Advocacy & Awareness (UISDAA, we pronounce the acronym as "YOOSE-duh"), primarily an organization both by and for disabled students and their allies, works to raise critical disability awareness on campus, provide a community and supportive space for students with disabilities, and promote disability justice on campus for the success and safety of disabled students. We do this by providing both disabled students and allies alike with ample opportunities to acquire knowledge about disability, develop their leadership and advocacy skills, and create tangible changes surrounding disability-related issues at the university level.
