Disability Affinity Space - March 4 - Show and Tell: Lightning Round
Student Disability Community Affinity Space
It’s Show and Tell: Lightning Round! at the next Student Disability Affinity Space!
Thursday, March 4 | 5 - 6 PM | Zoom | Register at https://go.umd.edu/disabilityaffinitymarch4
The President’s Commission on Disability Issues Student Advisory Committee (PCDI-SAC) is a student group that aims to serve as a voice for students with disabilities and their advocates by sharing their experiences on the University of Maryland campus. SAC provides a platform for students to form bonds, propose change and reduce the stigma surrounding disabilities, neurodivergence, and mental illness, with the goal of creating an accessible and inclusive campus.
PCDI-SAC is hosting Student Disability Community Affinity Spaces this spring semester. If you identify as a part of the disability community, come join us! The meetings are a space to connect, socialize, support each other, and share resources.
Our next Affinity Space on March 4th, is Show and Tell: Lightning Round! The hope is that folks will show, share, or present anything that is of interest to them! Some examples are:
Share your new favorite quarantine recipe
Show a new craft you've been working on
Share a book, movie, artist, song, poem, etc. that you enjoy
Share about events coming up, an event you attended, a resource or media source you like, etc. (disability related or not!)
Fun facts you've learned
A project you're working on
Truly, anything you want!!!
The only "rule" is that folks will have about 5 minutes to share (given we have a lot of attendees who'd like to share). Attendees are not required to share anything. Come share something cool, or sit back and learn something new!
Please find information, meeting dates, and zoom registrations at https://pcdi.umd.edu/disability-affinity-space.
Please contact PCDI at pcdi-sac@umd.edu with questions or if you need accommodations that will facilitate your full participation in the event. Please find updated details at https://pcdi.umd.edu/disability-affinity-space
Join Prescription for Happiness!
Prescription for Happiness is a mental health club that seeks to promote mental health worldwide and address the importance of mental health by combating social issues and discussing the future of medicine. The Prescription for Happiness club itself looks at mental health from a medical standpoint. However, the club is not limited to students that are interested in the medical field. One aspect of the club is our podcast, which looks at mental health from a public health perspective, in which we focus on societal issues and the impact it has on the public’s mental health. This includes issues such as racism, sexual assault, and much more.
Our writers and editors typically create an initial script for the podcast hosts and speakers to read off of before the discussion component of the podcast. Writers and editors typically do the research behind our weekly topics such as statistics, definitions, and general background information. We don't require writers to speak in the podcast. They may speak in it if they choose to!
