About us:
The DCC is one of the seven Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change (CCUSC) housed in the Office of Diversity, and we are one of a few disability cultural centers in the country. The DCC is dedicated to sharing our understanding of disability issues as social justice issues and building spaces where students, staff, and faculty can explore their identities, building community around disability experience and anti-ableist allyship.
We are an all-disabled staff and we are invested in thoughtfully shaping an accessible and equitable work culture. We value intersectional perspectives and we understand our work as a response to enduring systems of oppression. We encourage applications from Disabled, Deaf, Sick, and Mad applicants, applicants who are exploring their own relationship to disability identity. We also encourage Black, Indigenous, and People of Color applicants, LGBTQIA applicants, and applicants who are cisgender women, trans, and gender nonconforming.
