Aggie Neurodiversity Community

About

The Aggie Neurodiversity Community (ANC) is a social community of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as general community members, who identify as neurodivergent. Neurodiversity is broadly and inclusively defined, no diagnoses necessary, so as to create as welcoming and diverse a space as we can. We work side-by-side with the Disabled Student Union, another UC Davis club, to create a space for disability cultures while supporting and empowering our communities. The purposes of our club are: to act as an on-campus community and safe space for neurodivergent students; to encourage eachother and offer peer support; to empower neurodivergent students, offering them the tools and support they need to succeed; and to foster neurodivergent identity, consciousness, solidarity, and culture. We are also proud of our additional opt-in advocacy team that promotes neurodiversity inclusion and success on campus and beyond.
