About the Campaign: See The Ability
November 09-13 is MSU's 'See The Ability' Week. We will be running informational and advocacy efforts all week to raise awareness about disability, highlight where students can find support, and give an opportunity for those students with disabilities to voice their opinion on how things in the University could improve for the better.
We want to provide our students with a platform to communicate their perception of living with a disability so that together we can work collectively to create a campus that Sees The Ability.
From Sign Language Classes, Netflix Watch Parties, and Social Activities to Workshops and Discussions, have a look at What’s On:
