Georgetown celebrates Disability Cultural Month each October alongside the federally-recognized National Disability Employment Awareness Month, highlighting the multitude of contributions of people with disabilities to our university community and to society at large.
People with disabilities belong to a diverse range of communities and backgrounds and have been organizing for equal rights, access, inclusion and opportunity for decades. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, our community affirms the inherent dignity of all individuals.
We invite you to explore our Celebrating Disability Pride, Communities and Culture at Georgetown landing page to learn more about the contributions of our faculty, students, staff and alumni to celebrating and advocating for individuals with disabilities.
We also invite you to check out the range of events planned for Disability Cultural Month. Consider attending events hosted by the Disability Cultural Center, including a poetry night, a coffee chat on international disability rights and a sewing workshop where you can contribute to a community mixed-media quilt celebrating disability culture.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating Disability Cultural Month at Georgetown.
