Finding community, and feeling a sense belonging is vital to a positive and successful college experience. Members of the disability identity community can find it difficult to connect with others who share similar diagnoses and life experiences, due to confidentiality, stigma, and other factors. DAI values creating and supporting spaces for our community to connect in meaningful and affirming ways.

Ways to Get Involved:

• SADA/A – The Student Advocacy for Disability Awareness/Action – a new student-lead organization  “Unifying the disability community to increase awareness, decrease stigma, and make URI a more inclusive and accessible place.”
  • Please email us at sadauri@rhodysenate.org for more info or check us out on Instagram @uri_sada.
• Disability Resource Mentors are available if you are having difficulty getting the hang of things this semester. 
• Keep up to date with DAI events  – follow DAI on Instagram!
