Neurodivergent students at commuter institutions like CUNY often experience isolation despite the presence of formal accommodations. This in-person panel highlights the creation of the Neurodiversity Committee within Macaulay Mind as a student-led model for fostering belonging, leadership, and neurodivergent joy. Drawing on student survey research and lived experiences, panelists will discuss how peer-driven spaces help neurodivergent students feel seen, supported, and empowered. Attendees will learn practical strategies for building inclusive, student-centered neurodiversity communities that move toward authentic connection and advocacy.
