World Autism Awareness Day | 2 April

Today we stand in recognition, understanding, and celebration of individuals on the autism spectrum. At the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSwD), we are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where neurodiversity is respected, valued, and empowered.

Autism is not a limitation — it is a different way of experiencing and engaging with the world. By fostering awareness, acceptance, and meaningful support, we move closer to a campus where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Let’s go beyond awareness — let’s practice inclusion, listen with empathy, and build spaces where everyone belongs.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in and support UWC’s Casual Day 2025 campaign, themed “Beyond the Label”, in collaboration with the Centre for Student Support Service: Office for Students with Disabilities and the national Council for Persons with Disabilities.

This national initiative raises awareness about disability inclusion and promotes advocacy through a lighthearted but meaningful show of solidarity—by wearing a Casual Day sticker. All proceeds from sticker sales go to supporting the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, making a tangible impact on access and inclusion across the country.

1. Please share the campaign details on your respective social media platforms,
2. Encouraging both staff and students to participate, and
3. Promoting sticker sales and participation in this year’s friendly inter-faculty/division competition.

Stickers are available for purchase from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSwD) located on the ground floor of the former CHS Faculty building (next to the B-Block)

We appreciate your continued support in championing inclusion and look forward to your faculty’s engagement in this important initiative.

Warm regards,
The Centre for Student Support Services: Office for Students with Disabilities
