About
Disabled and Queer is a new affinity space for WWU students who identify as queer and disabled.
Disabled and Queer will have two meetings during the Fall 2026 quarter:
• Thursday, October 22 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM in the Disability Outreach Center (Wilson Library 165) Join the DOC and Sarah Kapostasy, neurodiversity specialist at the Counseling and Wellness Center, for snacks, speed friending, and campus community building.
• Wednesday, November 18 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM in the Disability Outreach Center (Wilson Library 165) Join the DOC and Sanjana Satishkumar, LGBTQ+ student support specialist at the Counseling and Wellness Center, to do some collaging, work on vision boards, and get to know the DOC and CWC.
Affinity group meetings are led by DOC student employees and open to WWU students. These spaces center certain populations. Like all Western Washington University and Disability Outreach Center events, all are welcome. Everyone is asked to come open-minded and attentive to the purpose of the space.
