10/03 Neurodivergent Seniors Panel

Join DNA for a panel featuring neurodivergent Duke seniors who will share what it’s really been like to navigate Duke with learning differences, chronic illnesses, and diverse brains.


From getting accommodations (or struggling to), to finding supportive professors, to unlearning perfectionism and finding belonging — this panel will explore the real story behind success as a neurodivergent student.


Our seniors will talk about:

  • How their understanding of neurodivergence has evolved during college

  • The challenges of managing coursework, health, and self-advocacy

  • What they wish they’d known as first-years or transfers

  • The intersection of neurodivergence with identity, friendship, and independence

  • Their plans after Duke — and how they’re preparing for life and work as neurodivergent adults


As always our meeting will be at 7PM in Rueben Cooke.
