DREAM Campus Chapters & Affiliates

Michelle White and Katie Mahlum work the DREAM information table at the 2014 "Disabled and Proud" conference. Copyright Syracuse University

Our dream is not only to provide information and resources to college students with disabilities, but also to build an active network of student leaders and disability organizations across the United States. We want to empower disabled and culturally Deaf students to work for campus and national change, encourage the development of disability culture and peer support, and advance the study of disabilities within academia. And we don’t want anyone to feel like they have do it all alone!

Please visit the DREAM Chapters and Affiliates page for information about how to become a part of the DREAM network and to get the online application to become a DREAM Chapter or Affiliate.
