The Autistic Self Advocacy Network is now accepting applications for the 2021 Autism Campus Inclusion (ACI) Leadership Academy! ACI helps autistic students learn to make their college campuses better for people with disabilities. ACI participants learn about making student groups, understanding disability policy, and talking to people in power.<https://click.everyaction.com/k/23416113/267511521/-344852118?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzgzODMwIiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjJhN2Q5NmQ2LWNmNGUtZWIxMS1hNjA3LTAwMTU1ZDQzYzk5MiIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiRE1lbHR6ZXJAbmFjZGQub3JnIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=1Qv8THjXgCyu5ug35rGUDup6v_r2KdlBFv7xU6H_7-M=&emci=00e87257-e13f-eb11-a607-00155d43c992&emdi=2a7d96d6-cf4e-eb11-a607-00155d43c992&ceid=14018514> After the Academy, students get help from ASAN to meet their advocacy goals at their college. ACI will be held from July 8th through 16th, 2021.

This year’s program will be held virtually. In 2020, we hosted our first virtual ACI due to the pandemic. Holding ACI virtually was a new experience, but our 2020 class was able to network with each other and learn all about advocacy and accessibility. You can learn more about the experience from alumni here.<https://click.everyaction.com/k/23416115/267511523/-2085948999?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzgzODMwIiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjJhN2Q5NmQ2LWNmNGUtZWIxMS1hNjA3LTAwMTU1ZDQzYzk5MiIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiRE1lbHR6ZXJAbmFjZGQub3JnIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=1Qv8THjXgCyu5ug35rGUDup6v_r2KdlBFv7xU6H_7-M=&emci=00e87257-e13f-eb11-a607-00155d43c992&emdi=2a7d96d6-cf4e-eb11-a607-00155d43c992&ceid=14018514>
