The panel will feature members of the campus community who are neurodivergent, which includes people who have ADHD, OCD, dyslexia and autism.

Unfortunately, stigma and other unnecessary barriers often make it difficult for neurodivergent students to succeed on our campus. By listening to and amplifying their voices, we can begin to reduce the stigma around learning and thinking differences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The presentation is part of the quality initiative\u2019s overall first-year theme, <em>Complexities of Identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Media and the public are welcome and invited to attend.
