The PossAbilities Club

About Our Club

The PossAbilities Club advocates for and supports students who have visible and/or invisible disabilities. A major goal of the club is to provide camaraderie and support in order to improve retention and graduation rates for our members. Together, we provide awareness of the everyday challenges experienced by our students, through educational and social events, fundraising, and support groups.

We also promote awareness about the variety of disabilities through exciting initiatives and events such as film festivals, celebrations, art shows and cultural events. We work closely with the CUNY Coalition for Students with Disabilities (CCSD), to address student concerns in regards to accessibility across the City University.

We welcome your thoughts and ideas for enhancing services for students with disabilities at Hunter College.

Join us to innovate, create and grow today!
