Translation
Translation and representation are at the heart of CREATE. Cross-campus collaboration is a core value.
Leveraging the industry, disability community, and academic partnerships of the Center, we create sustainable models for translation and build upon our prior successes. Our collaborations with our corporate, community, and campus partners ensure diverse voices to inform innovation.
