Join the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) for a week in action that draws attention to the importance of accessibility and self-advocacy. Whether it is in the classroom, on campus, or within our communities, we all play a role in breaking down barriers and ensuring equitable access for everyone. This event is not just about learning - it is about taking action and making a positive difference; this is why self-advocacy is equally important for all of us to understand. Expect insightful presentations and engaging discussions to learn what self-advocacy means, and how to apply it in your own life. Self-advocacy begins by understanding your true self, enabling you to express your needs and wants, ask questions, and seek out resources. 

Whether you are passionate about inclusivity or simply curious to learn more, this event is for you. Below you will find the week's layout and additional details!
