Disability Cultural Center
The DCC serves as a hub on campus for community, education and advocacy for disabled students, faculty, staff and all members of the university community. The DCC encourages interpersonal connection and collaborative learning toward more equitable spaces for disabled people in collaboration with other DCCE/UT departments. Establishing a DCC sends the message that UT Austin recognizes disabled people as an integral part of the campus community. The first of its kind in Texas, the DCC positions UT Austin as a leader in exploring more equitable futures for disabled people who study, teach, and work in higher education.
