Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Neurodivergency and Budgeting Workshop is cancelled on 4/24. We look forward to co-hosting this workshop in the future.

—

Budgeting is often treated as one-size-fits-all but that is far from the case! Some neurodivergent people in particular may face additional challenges when managing their finances. Join us on Thursday, April 24 in Parks Hall 441 from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM for a budgeting workshop tailored to neurodivergent minds where you can learn about strategies for financial success in a judgment-free space!

This event is co-sponsored by the Merriman Financial Literacy Program.

Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month is a month-long celebration throughout April that celebrates our autistic and neurodivergent community. Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month combines Neurodiversity Celebration Week, originally recognized March 17 - March 23 during the winter quarter finals week, and Autism Acceptance Month, recognized throughout April, to celebrate the autistic and neurodivergent community at WWU. This year’s theme for the inaugural Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month is "Doing It Our Way!" Throughout the month, the  Disability Access Center and Disability Outreach Center,  in collaboration with our partners the Institute for Critical Disability Studies and the Counseling and Wellness Center, will have a variety of events and programs for students, faculty, and staff. Visit the Autism and Neurodivergence Celebration Month website for more information and to learn about the events occurring throughout the month.
