About Us
The SUNY Empire Disability & Accessibility Club (DAC) is more than just a gathering place—it’s a community where individuals with disabilities find support, friendship, and empowerment. We aim to provide a safe and inclusive environment where members can share experiences, discuss challenges, and celebrate achievements. One of our keys goals is advocacy. Members will work together to raise awareness about accessibility issues, promote disability rights, and educate the broader community. Through events, workshops, and campaigns, these clubs help break down societal barriers, dispel the stigma of disability, and foster inclusion. Support and encouragement are also vital aspects of our group. Whether through peer mentorship, group activities or discussions, we will provide support to individuals who may otherwise feel isolated. We will also provide members with resources to support self-advocacy in various environments, including healthcare, education, and employment. Beyond advocacy and support, the DAC will organize recreational and social activities, ensuring that our members can engage in fun and fulfilling experiences; from sport events and art show to career development programs. These activities help build confidence and encourage personal growth. By fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment, our club plays a crucial role in creating a more inclusive student body. Whether you’re someone with a disability, a caregiver, or an ally, joining our club is a meaningful way to contribute to a world where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.
