Students for Access and Ability in College (SFAAC) aims to address the needs and concerns of the disability community. This SGA-recognized club is finishing its first full year connecting students with disabilities and allies in a common purpose. Members mentor each other to start a conversation around the various accessibility struggles they deal with on campus, as well as everyday life as college student. SFAAC also aims to educate members of the College community about disability, accessibility challenges, and the disability climate on campus. The power of education is utilized by Devin Martinez, President of the club, as he leads each meeting to help members move in a forward direction. As a group they strive to help each other develop strategies to advocate for themselves and others. SFAAC is a welcoming, judgement-free, all-inclusive club that accepts everyone as they go all-out to help students through whatever challenges they may be facing.
SFAAC will be hosting a campus-wide event on Monday April 29, from 7-8:30 PM in the Corey Union Exhibition lounge. The event is called “RespectAbility”, a name meaning that above all, everyone deserves respect. At the event there will be tie-dye stations, a brief informational presentation about the club and its goals, and a free pizza dinner! The first 15 students to arrive will receive a free t-shirt to tie-dye. All other students may bring an item of clothing to tie-dye. Everyone is encouraged to come to support the club and be an ally to your peers as this will be a stress-free time of conversation, food, and fun!
