The one titled “mentees” is on the right with three bullet points underneath. 1. Class of 2029 and/or 2. Navigating a new condition and/or 3. Looking for additional support. The top corners are covered by green and blue wavy shapes, and there is a yellow rectangle on the bottom with the disability pride heart on top of it.

The DSU Mentoring Program was established in 2025 to foster  community and mutual support among disabled students at Williams College. The program pairs students to share experiences, knowledge, and encouragement in navigating college life with a disability.

While the program primarily connects first- and second-year students with upper-class mentors, participation is open to any student who may benefit. This includes students who have recently developed or discovered a disability during their time at Williams, regardless of class year. Mentoring relationships are shaped by the needs and goals of participants and may focus on academics, campus accessibility, self-advocacy, social connection, or simply having someone to go to.

Whether you are seeking guidance and support or are interested in supporting others as they begin their journey, we encourage you to get involved. We are currently seeking both mentors and mentees, and welcome students with all types of disabilities and experiences.

If you are interested, please sign up here!
