The Meaningful Involvement for Neurodiverse Students (MINDS) RLC is open to all residential Campbell University students who identify as being neurodiverse, whether traditionally diagnosed or self-diagnosed. The Neurodiversity community includes diagnoses of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), among others. The MINDS RLC is dedicated to bringing together neurodiverse students to foster a safe and comfortable living environment while receiving additional support to succeed academically.
Members of this community will live together in Bob Barker Hall and participate in supporting neurodiverse-affirming support and activities. Through this experience, they have the opportunity to develop individual and group skills to positively impact their academics as well as support flourishing and belonging.
