" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow for the same reason I love the work I do: connection. There are so many incredible programs, people, and opportunities all dedicated to making a difference, but they're often unaware of each other. Through this fellowship and my project, I hope to connect them together and ensure they reach the people who need them most. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The ABLE Alliance Network
The 'National ABLE Alliance', is an organization dedicated to connecting these existing resources and organizations together. It works by consolidating different disability student advocacy organizations from different college campuses across the U.S., and establishing a baseline structure which allows them to communicate with one another. The end goal is that these different organizations can pool-together resources, ideas, opportunities, etc. with one another, allowing them to benefit from each other. The long term goal is to get the Alliance into a position where it could establish new disability student organizations on college campuses where there weren't any previously and strengthen existing ones, so they can improve the lives and futures of students with disabilities. The dream is to have the organization expand internationally.
About the Millennium Fellow
Saif Aslam is an excitable (and slightly eccentric) Computer Science student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA. Born and raised in the town of Warner Robins in Middle Georgia, he learned at an early age to push for the resources he needed as a student with a disability (while also literally being pushed around in his wheelchair). Now as a college student his goal is to advocate for others, laying the necessary foundations so that disabled students both present and future can focus less on accessibility, and more on academics.
