We’re excited to recognize Chasity Mayo, an ITLS doctoral student, for her impactful work in community engagement. As part of Dr. Lu Lawrence’s Project UNITE, she’s helping a Salt Lake City school district build support for students with disabilities during their transition from high school to adulthood. Chasity leads co-design workshops, fostering collaboration and building strong connections with her team. She values all partners as experts in their own experiences, ensuring solutions fit seamlessly into existing practices. Outside her academic work, Chasity volunteers with the Logan Pride Foundation and serves on the planning committee for the Utah Conference on Community Engagement, applying community-centered research to real-world issues. Chasity’s advice: define what community means to you, understand your values, and consider cultural and ethical aspects in your work. We’re proud to celebrate her contributions to both research and community!
Chasity as a doctoral student in ITLS, she’s been instrumental in Project UNITE, helping to build stronger support systems for students with disabilities and promoting teamwork through co-design workshops. 💙
