Disability Resource Mentors serve to support and encourage student success.

Through one-on-one and group meetings, Resource Mentors serve as a knowledgeable guide for DAI students, a thoughtful facilitator who provides access to people, and resources and ultimately a role model and advocate.

Disability Resource Mentors:

• Serve as an enthusiastic and culturally aware role model for their mentee
• Encourage a strengths-based mindset of their disability diagnosis
• Clarify the stigma that can be associated with a disability diagnosis and work to dismantle any self-stigma
• Help students develop a sense of belonging and bridge the URI and the DAI community by developing and maintaining relationships with mentee , and by facilitating participation in campus events
• Have familiarity with campus resources and the ability to help students identify appropriate support services as needed
• Understand the systemic complexities at URI and will demonstrate to mentee how to access places, spaces and people
