Join us as we launch Disability History Month at the University of Glasgow with an inclusive coffee morning celebrating Life Beyond the Classroom – the theme of this year’s campaign.
This relaxed event will bring together students, staff, and local organisations to kick off a month of awareness, community, and advocacy. Hear from speakers including representatives from the SRC, the Disabled Students’ Society, and external organisations supporting disabled people in Scotland.
The focus this year is on the disabled student experience – from clubs and societies to social life, volunteering, and community. We'll be shining a light on the barriers that disabled students still face, and celebrating the work being done to make campus more accessible for all.
We will be offering hot drinks, breakfast pastries, and fruit. This event will be accessible and will be taking place in Room 201 of the McIntyre Building.
