In addition to our Caucus business meeting, at each annual meeting of the Society for Disability Studies the Student Caucus sponsors a number of initiatives aimed at our membership, ranging from a caucus social to professionalization roundtables and panels. The following is a listing of our current ongoing initiatives and who will be coordinating them for the upcoming SDS conference (June 2016) in Phoenix, AZ.
