DREAM Campus Chapters & Affiliates
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!
