Join us for a panel dialogue and interactive workshop where you'll learn about and have the chance to practice self-advocacy skills. How do you set healthy boundaries and make sure that you are taking good care of yourself? How do you handle microaggressions from classmates around disability or gender identity or race? How do you communicate to your instructors effectively if you are in crisis and seeking some kind of accommodation or extra support? Event will be held on Zoom.

Our panelists will include:
Adiam Tesfay, Director of Disability Resources for Students
Lev Cunningham, MSW, Mental Health Specialist & Wellness Manager
Vern Harner, MSW, Social Welfare Doctoral Candidate
Sommer Albert, MSW student
Kayla Newcomer, MSW, Project Specialist with GO-MAP

*This event is tailored towards incoming first-year undergraduate students and prospective BASW students.
