The Executive Function
Tue 4/7 • 11AM - 2PM PDT
Kerckhoff Patio
Join CAE, the GSS LLC, and other campus partners for The Executive Function, a resource fair focused on support for neurodivergent students. There are so many wonderful resources at UCLA that exist to support students in their academic, professional, and personal growth. But, from a student perspective all these separate avenues of support can be daunting. The prospect of bouncing from office to office in search of the person or program that is right for them can exhaust students before they start. Herein lies the role of The Executive Function!, a resource fair aiming to address this problem in two key ways: (1) Connect students directly with campus resource representatives that can best address their needs, and (2) Start the application/intake process right then and there! Named after the common ADHD symptom of executive dysfunction, The Executive Function! is an acknowledgment that students know what they need, they may even know where to start, but the process of taking those first steps can feel insurmountable. Thankfully, one of the most effective techniques for addressing executive dysfunction is community support. Providing the space and time to fill out an intake form or book an appointment can make a world of difference.
