A Message from the CRDSSA President

Hi Students!

The Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Students' Association (CRDSSA) is a student-led club dedicated to advocacy, collaboration, and unity. Our goal is to support students by making sure their voices are heard and met, whether that's through faculty meetings, creating spaces to connect with peers, or sharing resources and opportunities that strengthen academic growth.

The CRDSSA hosts a variety of events, including our Fall and Winter bake sales, HSSA x CRDSSA Gala, annual disability research conference, and fun social media competitions. We're also excited to highlight our new BCR scholarship, which recognizes and supports students completing their senior-level practicum in the upcoming year. Looking ahead, we are also planning social events and activities for students to build connections outside the classroom.

Stay connected with us on Instagram (crdssa.uofc), where we share student tips, ways to build your CV, opportunities to connect with faculty, and updates on upcoming events and activities throughout the year. Don't hesitate to reach out and connect with anyone on the team. We would love to hear your questions, ideas, and suggestions.

 

Sincerely,
Jemma Nombre
CRDSSA, President
