Directors' Corner

Lauren Lum Ho, Ed.D., MSW
Center on Disability Studies Interim Director

As the year draws to a close and the holiday season is upon us, I want to extend my gratitude to our partners, collaborators, participants, students, and stakeholders on behalf of CDS. We genuinely appreciate the collective efforts that continually contribute to the success of our projects and initiatives. Looking ahead, we're gearing up for our Pac Rim Conference in February 2024, centered around the theme "Beyond Access: Building a Culture of Belonging," a concept we're deeply passionate about. This ethos guides our efforts within our unit and throughout our projects. Additionally, I encourage you to read about Dr. Steve Brown and his impactful legacy on CDS, within the AUCD network, and on Disability Culture. We celebrate his life and honor his memory.
