Mission and Vision

The mission of Harvard Alumni Disability Alliance) is to create a community and provide a forum of Harvard alumni, faculty, and experts to promote opportunities, participation, inclusion, and civil and human rights for people with disabilities.


The vision for Harvard Alumni Disability Alliance is to create a world in which disability – physical, emotional, developmental, intellectual, psychosocial, sensory, visible, and invisible – is reflexively brought into every major social and political conversation, and that people with disabilities are visible in every social circle and every part of life. It is our hope that, through the work of this shared interest group, we can set the gold standard for disability inclusion and create a model to be emulated in organizations, institutions, legislative bodies, and communities, the world over.
