Disability Rights and Health Advocacy Initiative (formerly known as Student Coalition for Disability Rights)

Q: What is the club's core mission?

The club promotes disability-empowerment initiatives by advocating for universally accessible spaces and programs, and by framing disability as a sociocultural identity rather than purely a medical condition.

Q: Why did the club change its name?

The club was formerly known as Student Coalition for Disability Rights (SCDR) and has since rebranded as the Disability Rights and Health Advocacy Initiative, likely to reflect an expanded focus on health advocacy alongside disability rights.
