The CSDN's mission is to serve as an affinity group for Columbia University students with disabilities and our allies. We raise awareness of disability justice through bringing speakers and act as a safe space for students who identify as disabled or as having a disability, and for allies of the disability community. The CSDN fosters campus-wide disability pride and is a supportive community that interacts with the unique challenges of living with disabilities and provides a platform for the disabled community to voice our stories and concerns.
