About Us

SHU's Respect the ABILITY is designed to foster a culture where all people are treated with equality, dignity, and respect and have equal opportunities to participate in a community where abilities, rather than disabilities, are recognized. The organization provides support in social aspects, as well as provides a means to educate the SHU community to have a better understanding of disabilities through exposure, awareness, and interaction. It aims to show the intersectionality between diversity, equity, and inclusion.
