Neurodivergent Student Union

Neurodivergent Student Union (previously Augie Autistic Experiences) is a group to provide a safe and supportive place on campus for neurodivergent students and allies. Community education, neurodiversity, disability rights, social justice, and acceptance are at the core of this group. This group also aims to provide a support system for neurodivergent students at Augustana, as well as to advocate for change to the community and policies if/when necessary. We are a group based in inclusion and understanding.

We’re happy to have you join us!

• "What is the Neurodiversity Umbrella?" (Healing Umbrella)
