Colgate Disability Activists (CDA)'s presentation aims to:

• educate participants on the need for a more accessible campus culture at Colgate and in the world at large
• provide an update on the state of accessibility at Colgate and our efforts as a student organization
• foster a safe space for people who identify as disabled/having disabilities, use OSDS services, or are allies/accomplices.
