The UW Disability Staff & Faculty Association (DSFA) Kick Off Week

Posted on by Lauren Updyke. This entry was posted in Promotions. Bookmark the permalink.

The UW Disability Staff and Faculty Association (DSFA) launched in the 2023-2024 academic year to support our vibrant community for faculty and staff who identify as and/or ally with people who are disabled, blind/low vision, D/deaf, chronically ill, Mad, neurodivergent, or experiencing mental health concerns.

DSFA presents a week of opportunities to build community and discuss, “What does community in disability look like? How can we build it at the UW?”

Please note that:

  • We recognize that a person’s disability identity is deeply personal; it is always an individual choice to self-disclose disability.
  • Any disclosures made in our community space are expected to remain private unless explicit consent is given.

Join us in building a supportive environment that honors disability as an important part of diversity.
