Get Involved with the Longmore Institute on Disability & DREAM

Did you know SF State not only has the DPRC to support your accommodation needs, but also hosts the Longmore Institute on Disability for disabled students to connect, hang out, and learn more about disability studies and disability justice? The Longmore Institute is a national leader in disability programming and showcases disabled people's experiences to revolutionize social views. Through public education, scholarship and cultural events, the Longmore Institute shares disability history and theory, promotes critical thinking, and builds a broader community. They have paid fellowship opportunities for disabled students too! You can swing by and knock on the door for a place to hang out, 135/136 Humanities (if someone is there, you’ll be free to use the space!). They also host a ton of events on campus, off, and virtually, from their monthly Café Crip disability discussion series to Superfest Disability Film Festival.

In addition, the Longmore Institute hosts DREAM, the disability student club on campus, which stands for Disability, Rights, Education and Mentorship. They’re seeking new members and officers – see attached, follow the linktree (they have an active discord too) at https://linktr.ee/dream_sfsu.
