July is Disability Pride Month!

The Disability Pride flag, originally created by Ann Magill in 2019, was redesigned in 2021 after finding that the original flag could trigger migraines or seizures. Each color represents a different aspect of the Disability Community:

• Green is for sensory disabilities.
• Blue is for psychiatric disabilities.
• White is for invisible disabilities and undiagnosed disabilities.
• Gold is for neurodivergence.
• Red is for physical disabilities.
• The black background represents mourning for those who have lost their lives to ableist violence, and resistance against ableism.
• The parallel lines represent solidarity among the Disability Community.
• The diagonal lines represent cutting across barriers, as well as creativity and light in darkness.

How are you celebrating Disability Pride Month?

Happy first week of the semester! Make sure you complete these to-do list items as soon as possible:

1. Submit accommodation requests for classes in AIM
2. Submit alternative text requests in AIM
3. Meet with your instructors to discuss accommodations
4. Schedule your exams for the rest of the semester in AIM (remember you can modify or cancel later if something changes!)

If you need assistance as you prepare for the semester, we’re here to help! Stop by Clark Howell Hall, email us at [email protected], or call us at 706-542-8719.

Fueling up! So good to be back on the road with my family. We hit a BIG milestone this week:

Georgia is the 37TH STATE that Theo has been to! He woke up this morning and said “I woke up! I had a good rest… I want to go on an adventure in Georgia!” 🍑 🌎 🚙

TONIGHT: I was invited to speak to the students at the University of Georgia. Thank you to the UGA Disability Resource Center & the Speakers Bureau for making this event possible!
