Interfaith and Spiritual Life Program
“Students” (the cast) will contribute problematic statements to a class discussion about religion.

To help students re-evaluate their perspectives on disability (as more than just a visible impairment), and stress the importance of being under-standing to disabled people.

Having that support can make all the difference.
