INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT:Ann:  This is Ann Kirkpatrick and I am speaking with Scripps College Senior, Maddy Ruvolo.So I’d like to begin by speaking about the disability difference and illness alliance. What is its mission here at the 5Cs?Maddy:  So the mission of DIDA, as we call it, is to increase awareness of disability issues, to start conversations around disability, also to really form and cultivate a disability community here. It started a couple years ago after some of my friends and I were getting pretty frustrated because just disability never came up. It never came up in classes, it never came up in conversations with friends, it just, it wasn’t a part of the culture here. And so what we’re trying to do is trying to educate people here about disability and have a space where disabled students feel comfortable and feel like they can share things about their disability with other disabled students.A:  What is your role as president of DIDA?M: So as president, I run the weekly meetings, which are mostly discussion based, so I’m facilitating those discussions. I’ve also done outreach to the administration and to other student groups. So just trying to make sure everyone feels included and reaching out to other groups to try to work with other people and move our organization forward.A:  When does DIDA meet?M:  We meet Tuesdays, at 8pm, in the GJW living room, although that is probably going to change next semester. So if people are interested in coming to our meetings they should check out our Facebook pageA:  Speaking of next semester, what are you plans for this coming semester?M:  We’re trying to bring in more speakers for next semester. So this semester, we’ve been mostly focused mainly on the weekly discussions, which have been really great. We’ve had a good turnout this year, much more than last year, so many more people have been coming, which is really great.  But we want to bring in some more disability speakers, people who are doing disability activism outside of the 5Cs to come and talk with us. So that’s one of the big things we’re working on for next semesterA:  So I know you have a vested interest in disability activism, would you like to share a little bit about your own experience with disability and chronic illness?M:  Sure! I have a chronic illness called disautonomia, it’s a malfunction of the automatic nervous system. And I got sick the beginning of my sophomore year of high school. And after that I didn’t really go to high school, teachers mostly came to my house, and I really just graduated by the skin of my teeth. And then I came here and started as a part time student just because I didn’t have the energy to be a full time student at the beginning. But it was really something I didn’t’ think about on an activism level, on a community level. For a very long time I really just thought about it as a personal, like I am sick, this is my experience. But then I started taking classes here, and we were talking about oppression of other marginalized groups, and I started wondering, should disability be a part of this conversation? And then I also started looking online and finding communities there. And that was really great, so I started learning a lot more about the disability community as a whole and the history of the disability rights movement. This summer I was in an internship program with a bu
