ISSUE 6 – OCTOBER 2025 WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. WELCOME FROM OUR HEAD OF THE DISABILITY RIGHTS UNIT Dear Students, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the enABLE Newsletter – a space created especially for students with disabilities at WITS. This platform is designed to keep you informed, supported, and connected with the services, opportunities, and community available to you through the Disability Rights Unit. At WITS, we are deeply committed to creating an inclusive academic and social environment where every student can thrive. Through the DRU, we aim to break down barriers, celebrate diversity, and ensure that you have the tools and resources needed to succeed. This episode of the enABLE Newsletter will bring you updates on accessibility initiatives, important academic and wellness information, student achievements, and ways to engage with your peers. Most importantly, it will highlight that you are not alone on this journey – you are part of a vibrant community where your voice matters. I encourage you to make the most of the opportunities shared here, to reach out when you need support, and to share your stories with us so that we can continue building a more inclusive WITS together.
