ADHD Study Hubs
These in person hubs are designed to provide a supportive and structured environment for individuals with ADHD to enhance their study skills, connect with peers and access valuable resources.
- Focused Study Sessions: Quiet, distraction-free zones to help you concentrate on your work.
- Expert Guidance: Each study hub will open with a mini learning strategy session facilitated by Accessibility Services Learning Strategist, Dr. Katie Rowland or a resource share from an Accessible Librarian.
- Peer Support: The majority of the study hub will be peer-led. Guided by the pomodoro technique, peers will lead you through rounds of focused study sessions, separated by a quick break at the halfway point and a debrief session afterwards.
Connect with others who understand the challenges and strengths of ADHD. Join us for and take a step towards better study habits!
