Early leader in the disability rights movement in the US
Welcome to MedLaunch@UIUC! We are a student-led organization on campus with a focus on making our community a more accessible place. Coming from all different majors and perspectives, we work with individuals with disabilities in the CU area to design, build, and deliver devices that improve their independence and quality of life.
