Unity - A perfect world for students with disabilities, is a student organization focused around the success and support of all students with disabilities. It unites students with and without disabilities allowing members to recognize and celebrate diversity. Unity also promotes disability awareness on campus by organizing student events during Disability Awareness Month.
The group was formed in 2003 with the support of Caity McCandless, a counselor at the Office for Disability Services, and students with disabilities. The involvement has increased over the years when the organization decided to open its membership to people without disabilities as well.
