ICDS Student Advisory Council

The WWU Student Advisory Council (SAC) is an independent student-run committee within the Institute for Critical Disability Studies comprised of undergraduate and graduate students at WWU. Their mission is to create a safe and supportive space for disabled student and allies to foster a growing community of inclusion, accessibility, and disability culture, and to ensure that disabled students are represented and included at all levels of the Institute’s operations. In order to better represent the needs and priorities of the disabled student community, the Student Advisory Council meets for discussion regularly during the academic year and provides recommendations for the ICDS at their regular meetings. You can reach out to the current ICDS SAC leadership team at: wwu.icds.sac@gmail.com or reach the Co-Presidents directy by email at kleffmr@wwu.edu and wilkinc5@wwu.edu.
