The DISCO Project aims to foster community and build a sense of belonging for disabled (including neurodiverse) students. This project gets at the heart of this aim, by recruiting student interns to become DISCO Community Ambassadors with support from a PhD mentor.
DISCO Community Ambassador will help support and build community within and between their departments to help support the key aims of the DISCO project. They'll also start work on building a DISCO Alumni Network.
This project is currently running, so watch this space for updates.
