How Our Events Work:

Our events are designed to be flexible, accessible, and inclusive, ensuring that students with chronic illnesses can participate in ways that work best for them. We host a mix of social gatherings, study sessions, awareness campaigns, and advocacy initiatives, all with a focus on building community and providing support. For those who can’t always attend in person, we offer take-home kits with materials for activities like bracelet-making and symptom tracking, as well as virtual engagement options for some events. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed space to connect, opportunities to raise awareness, or simply a supportive environment to study, our events are here to meet you where you are.
