What does an inclusive campus look like to you?
An inclusive campus is one that sees, understands, and respects the intersecting identities of each individual community member. Moreover, it is one that listens to each member of the community, and creates equitable spaces (like SAS and the fellows' office hours) for its students to express themselves in whatever ways they may need and want.

If you could go back to yourself in your first year in college and offer a piece of advice, what would it be?
Asking for help can include lots of different things, even beyond Student Accessibility Support: emailing professors with questions about classes they're not even teaching, checking in regularly with academic advisors, going to a community therapist for tips about self-care, or even trading chores with roommates to find what works best. In my first year, I was scared to ask for any help, but since then I've asked for help in all of these ways. If I could offer a piece of advice to myself in my first year, I would suggest being purposeful about looking into what supports are available and self-advocating to be able to use those resources.
Fun fact: My all-time favorite album is AC/DC's "Back in Black".

What is one thing you would like to say to other students with disabilities who are navigating Higher Education?
Remember that it is not your job to educate anyone else on your, or any other, disabilities if you do not have the desire and/or capacity to do so. You're here to learn and you have every right to do that without expending emotional labour to teach about yourself if you don't feel called to do so.
Fun fact: I'm a pyrographer!
Culla Galaher

Class of 2022
Intended field of study: Biology
What is one thing you would like to say to other students with disabilities who are navigating Higher Education? 
Give yourself more credit. Navigating higher education is innately harder for students with disabilities because our educational systems are not built for people with disabilities. As students with disabilities learning in an environment not built for us, we deserve a lot more patience and appreciation that we often give ourselves.
Fun fact: I take ASL classes and plan to go back to school to become an interpreter after college.

Class of 2024
Intended field of study: Psychology, Minor in Journalism 
If you could go back to yourself in your first year in college and offer a piece of advice, what would it be?
I would tell myself to not be afraid to reach out to campus resources whenever you have questions or need help with anything. While it can seem intimidating at first, every department would gladly sit and work with you as long as you find a time that works for everyone. Reaching out to different departments will also help you learn more about what they do, meet new people and maybe even make a few friends!
Fun fact: My last name is the same as the name of my hometown in Sri Lanka!

If you could go back to yourself in your first year in college and offer a piece of advice, what would it be?
Reach out to everyone and share your interests! The Brandeis community is made up of so many people who want to help you succeed. I don't just mean the amazing staff at Student Accessibility Support, but your Professors, staff at the Fellowship offices, your grad student TA's, and most importantly other students. Navigating college and all the opportunities and resources Brandeis provides can be difficult but don't be afraid to express what you want and what help you need.
Fun Fact: I made my own major! Ask me how!
