ALLIED
ALLIED ( Allies for Leading, Learning, Inclusion and Education of Disabilities ) project is taking the first steps towards connecting disability services and planting the seed for future disability programming. It has become a focal point of disability inclusion and discussion on-campus. I am elated to be a co-founder & director of the project which is supported by Northeastern's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI).
