Dear Colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. As many of you know, an important issue for our student body is finding additional funding to pay for their education. Through the generosity of our QC alumni and the QC Foundation, we will be able to provide support to many of these students seeking financial support. However, to do this effectively and within a very small timeframe, we need your help! The Honors and Scholarships team is seeking 25+ volunteers to serve on the QC Foundation Scholarships Application Review Committee. Collectively, the committee will have the opportunity to review over 700+ applications. Next Steps: * If you're interested in serving on this committee, please let us know using this<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.off…> form. * Each volunteer will be assigned a set of applications to score on or around March 13, which must be completed by April 13. * The whole procedure would be virtual and self-directed within the time frame. Further instructions will be sent out on March 13 along with the applications. Questions? Please email us at qc.scholarships(a)qc.cuny.edu. Thank you in advance for your support.

Neurodiversity Hub: Resources to help support neurodivergent students
by Jean Kelly 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

>From The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership and Queens College Project Reach: In 2022, The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, & Leadership (CETLL) and Queens College Project Reach (QCPR) presented a two-part faculty series on Acknowledging Neurodiversity and Removing Barriers. To help the increasing number of neurodivergent students succeed at Queens College, Sally Izquierdo (Psychology) collaborated with Neurodiversity Support Fellows Kartika Kumari and Gloria Livai to teach faculty about neurodiversity, inclusivity, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). In addition to two faculty presentations, “Neurodiversity in the Classroom<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >” and “Acknowledging Neurodiversity and Removing Barriers for Autistic College Students,” Izquierdo created a Team site called the Neurodiversity Hub where faculty and staff can find resources that will help support neurodivergent students. The resources in the Hub include Blackboard training links, research articles, an instructor checklist, and helpful books, podcasts, and websites. Members can communicate with one another on the platform with the post and chat functions. Staff and faculty members can enter the Neurodiversity Hub by using the access code qazm3d5 on Microsoft Teams or by accessing the link<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > directly and logging in with a CUNYfirst account. They can also fill out the Neurodiversity Hub interest form<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. For more information about the Neurodiversity Hub or faculty workshops, contact Sally Izquierdo at sally.izquierdo(a)qc.cuny.edu.
