UMassD students, looking for a club?

OSAS is looking for individuals who identify as neurodiverse or allies to run and join a Neurodiversity Club. The aim of this club is to help people find friends and engage in fun activities. The club members would vote on activities or events to do! However, we can't have a club without students. We need students to fulfill the leadership roles and have students attend the club. If you're interested in being part of the club or in helping to run the club, please email us at access_success@umassd.edu.

Help us create a fun and inviting space!
