| Profile | Memorial University of Newfoundland Disability Information Support Centre (MUN DISC) is a centre which is operated by students for students (with and without disabilities). It is organized under the Memorial University of Newfoundland Students' Union.
Some of the services MUN DISC offers include:
peer-on-peer counselling
guidance and literature to students in order to educate them about the challenges they may face while attending Memorial University
a social network and an opportunity to interact with other organizations and groups on campus
access to Internet-ready computer, printer (at minimum cost), telephone, microwave, beverages, etc.
many more services are available (e.g., scholarship and bursary information)
For further information, visit the MUNDISC office in the Smallwood (University) Centre, Room 6007.
Composed of 40 volunteers and students with disabilities, MUNDISC’s mandate is to advocate and provide support for students at Memorial University. The group works closely with the student union, but retains independent status. On-campus accessibility is a priority, and the group works hard to get the word out to other students about important issues such as the transition from school to the employment market. Despite the obvious financial constraints imposed upon such student groups, the organization works hard to keep the centre alive through the strength of its student membership. The group meets an average of twice a month and, like the Carleton Disability Awareness Centre, has permanent office space and paid staff. | |
