CoSAA (Collective of Students Affected by Ableism)

Mission Statement
There is a significant population of students on campus who are underserved on campus and isolated by the ableism present in society today. We strive to create a community which functions to support these students and advocate for the population of students affected by ableism in its entirety. We plan to address three major areas of interest and importance to this community: education, advocacy, and support. We plan to provide opportunities to educate both the general public on the issues and nature of ableism in society as well as provide information and resources for students affected by ableism. We would like to provide a framework by which students affected by ableism can advocate for themselves and one another within the systems and organizations on Hampshire Campus and beyond. We hope to foster a welcoming community dedicated to supporting and providing a safe space for our members.
