Neurodiversity Dialogues: Exploring Sense of Belonging Among Neurodivergent Students in Higher Education (Virtual) (free)
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 3pm to 4pm
This session focuses on a sense of belonging for neurodivergent students in higher education. Findings presented are the result of Dr. Mollie Rubinstein’s dissertation titled: Exploring Sense of Belonging Among Neurodivergent Students in Higher Education. In this session, we will discuss accommodations, friendship, the impact of faculty, campus activities and acceptance, and ultimately, how a sense of belonging was found at the intersection of academic and non-academic experiences.
