Grad Student Circle
The SDR Graduate Student Circle is a peer-led space for students who identify as having a disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or other access needs.
- April 21, 2026
- 6:00 p.m.
- 116 Boucke
The intention for the group is to offer a welcoming and inclusive space that fosters peer support and camaraderie, opportunities to share experiences and skills, and foster belonging and community among peers who know what it is like to balance academic life with personal access needs.
Activities may include:
- social gatherings
- peer-led workshops
- information sessions
All shaped by and for the group. The SDR Graduate Student Circle will also offer a solutions-based forum advocate for disability-related issues and to help SDR be more responsive to the needs of graduate students.
Our hope is that this venue can provide direction for Penn State to be on the cutting edge of accommodations and beyond for graduate students supported by SDR.
