The DREAM Student Advisory Board 2023-2024

Board members meet online monthly through Zoom to discuss timely issues facing students with disabilities, plan events for DREAM, advise the National Center for College Students with Disabilities, and work with DREAM's advisor and coordinator through committees focused on social media, this website, supporting chapters and affiliates, and other work as needed.  DREAM and the NCCSD are committed to DREAM being a group by and for students with disabilities, as it has been since DREAM's founding in 2011.  Students typically serve at least one year on the Board, and nondisabled allies and alumni who graduated less than three years ago are welcome.

Are you a student who'd like to share an issue or join the DREAM Board? The application process for DREAM Board members typically happens sometime between August and early October each year.  Contact us or reach out to DREAM's advisor, Wendy Harbour, at wendy@ahead.org.
