Allies for Inclusion Exhibit

October is Disability Awareness Month.  On October 25th, Student Accessibility Services sponsored Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit throughout the day in the 1962 Room of Cro.  This exhibit was launched in 2010 by St. Louis University and has since toured the country to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities.

A steady stream of students, staff, faculty, and guests visited the exhibit to learn more about the disability movement, gain a better understanding of people with disabilities, and learn to become an ally for those with disabilities.

Check out some pictures from the event:
