April is Disability Awareness Month and the Office for Disability Services usually collaborates with the student organization, Unity, to organize events that raise disability awareness on campus. This year has been the most successful so far. There was much more involvement than past years and many more events.

There was an art exhibit in Bricker Hall for artists with disabilities for the entire month, movies about disability shown once a week, a Beepball game on the South Oval, an Open Mic Jam held in the Mirror Lake Cafe and many other events. Mark Zupan, the star of the movie Murderball, also came to campus this year.
