Are you ABLE to join?

Published on April 27, 2010 by The Sentinel

Advocacy Boldness Leadership Empowerment is an inclusive, registered student organization that promotes disability awareness around campus and is a medium for all KSU students who wish to advocate on behalf of students with disabilities.

This past year, ABLE has collaborated with multiple student organizations to heighten awareness through campus events.  Notable events include the ABLE/Theta Chi Wheelchair Race between the library and the Student Center, Tango with a Wheelie (partnered with the International Students Association) where actual dance instructors partnered with students in mobility devices to learn to tango,  and  the “King Gimp” Keplinger Chautauqua Lecture series that was co-sponsored by numerous student organizations and academic departments. Members also participated in off-campus activities such as “Dialog in the Dark” and “The Bodies” exhibit.

ABLE has been an active registered student organization for more than 12 years.  As a member of this organization, you will gain leadership skills through your participation and experiences.  ABLE is currently enlisting interested students who are willing to serve as officers for the 2010-2011 school year.

For more information or to submit an application, students can visit the ABLE office located within the DSS office on the second floor of the Student Center. Additionally, interested students can contact Lynne Hagan at lhagan@kennesaw.edu or Adam Oglesbee at aoglesbe@students.kennesaw.edu.
