Neurodiverse Employee Resource Group (NERG) Meeting

Tuesday, April 22, noon to 1 p.m., Zoom

This group advocates for and supports neurodiverse people in the CMU community and beyond. “Neurodiversity” is a word used to explain the unique ways people’s brains work. While everyone’s brain develops similarly, no two brains function just alike. Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person.
