  Low-Pressure Co-Volunteer Ops (2 People Per Task!): No solo heavy lifting needed. We are looking for pairs to team up on a few light projects:

• 2 Co-Creators: Begin a group Neurodiversity Glossary.

• 2 Co-Authors: Organize a Fall Faculty Tip Sheet (neuro-affirming teaching tips).

• 2 Co-Authors: Organize a Spring Staff Tip Sheet (neuro-affirming workplace tips).

Drop in for a few minutes or stay the whole time. We look forward to seeing you there!

Once again, thank you to the Women’s, Gender, & Equity Center for hosting us.
