Body-Doubling Workshop/Study Time 

This session introduces body doubling, a powerful ADHD-friendly focus tool where individuals work in parallel alongside others. Part wellness workshop, part productive study hour. Students bring a task they’ve been avoiding—reading, writing, emails, studying—and we tackle them together in a calm, judgment-free space.

Coffee with Professors

Coffee with Professors is designed to help students connect with faculty in a relaxed, low stakes setting. Each session will feature a faculty member sharing their career journey, what inspired them to pursue their field, and the advice they would give their younger self. After the presentation, students will have the chance to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and build meaningful connections with the professor
