1/30 Neurodivergence Awareness

Neurodivergence isn’t one thing—it’s a whole spectrum of ways the brain processes, learns, and experiences the world. This week, we’ll explore how different forms of neurodivergence show up in daily life, from ADHD and dyslexia to epilepsy, processing disorders, Tourette’s, and more.

We’ll talk about what these differences can look like day to day, how they intersect, and how we can better support one another as peers, classmates, and friends. This is a relaxed, discussion-based meeting open to anyone interested in learning more—no background knowledge required.

Our GBM will be on 9/21, in Rueben-Cooke Building, Room 207
