Social Welfare PhD student involved in organizing for disability cultural center

April 10, 2019

Social Welfare doctoral Student Katie Savin has been the grad student rep in organizing  for a disability community center on the Cal Campus.

“A lot of people don’t consider disability as a social-cultural identity; they consider it as something unfortunate that happens to someone or a biological flaw,” Savin said. “We have unique needs, we have unique ways of being excluded and discriminated against on campus, we have lower graduation rates (and) we have lower retention rates.”
