DICE (Disability, Inclusion, Community and Education) launches!

Disability, Inclusion, Community and Education (DICE) is officially launching this fall. We hope you’ll join us! (This Student Organization replaces the ADS Success Club and the Deaf Club—all are welcome!)

Our first DICE meeting will be on Tuesday, October 13, from 12–1 PM in Building H, Room 193.

At our first meeting, we will:

Review our organization's constitution
Talk about the goals and vision of our group
Discuss upcoming events and activities
Elect DICE officers

This is your opportunity to help shape DICE and determine what our organization will look like moving forward. We would love to have you be part of the conversation! Need an ASL interpreter for the meeting(s)? Request through a Custom Request here.
