Our mission is to serve and represent students with disabilities that are enrolled at the City University of New York. We are dedicated to improving access, opportunity and fostering community among CUNY’s more than 9,000 students with disabilities. We are committed to making a difference.
In the Summer of 2003, Donald Passantino founder of CUNY Coalition for Students with Disabilities invited a group of student leader's with disabilities to gather together in a leadership training held at Queens College followed by a barbecue to celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At the event Donald Passantino reorganized the CUNY Coalition for Students with Disabilities once again. As a result of that event The CCSD has been working very strongly with a common purpose. Which is to reestablish and renew old friendships with those who are involved in advocating for the disabled. As students with disabilities, we have numerous issues that impact our lives.
WE NEED:
- The spreading of diversity awareness
- The voice for removal of architectural barriers
- Recruitment of leaders that are willing to serve and organize our student body
Spread the word about the coalition on your campus.
CCSD is counting on you!
