The beds selected by the winner and their roommate must be assigned to the same building. Any student who is assigned to a room through this giveaway does not have the right to their room assignment.

Being able to support Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color (BIPOC) is of critical need at BGSU. Provost Whitehead has indicated that we continue to see striking disparities in retention rates and graduation rates between the majority white student body and BIPOC students. While many scholars agree that the history and continued influence of white supremacy in higher education contribute to these present-day disparities, many faculty are left wondering what can be done now to disrupt these patterns. Utilizing an equity self-audit tool to deeply explore curriculum and pedagogical decisions can assist faculty in engaging more intentionally in antiracist practices. This workshop will introduce one such tool; participants will be guided to begin the critical self-reflection process of their own teaching praxis.
Learning Outcomes:
To increase my understanding of the influences of colonization and white supremacy has on the context of higher education, and the role antiracism has in restoring equity and justice
To examine audit tools which can be used to aide in the critical self-reflection of pedagogical decisions
To begin critically reflecting on the influences on my teaching practices and identify spaces to move the needle towards antiracist education
Categories: Inclusive Pedagogy, Engagement
Facilitator: Dr. Elizabeth Olson, Associate Professor, Human Development and Family Studies, CFE Faculty Associate
Date: March 15, 2023
Times: 1-2:30 p.m.
Location: Olscamp 106
Registration for the event is now closed.

Neurodivergent Distress Tolerance and Mindfulness Workshop is a weekly guided neurodivergent focused DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) skills workshop using the Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills. Learn about what helps YOU as a neurodivergent individual. DBT is a long standing and trusted therapy used in reducing maladaptive learned behaviors in people who try to control and suppress intense emotions instead of working through them. DBT focuses on learning to balance, accepting and validating yourself and feelings, and recognizing that change still needs to happen in order to end unhelpful and/or self-destructive cycles. Build a tool kit (metaphorically and physically with plenty of freebies!) of coping skills for moments of intense feelings and ways to reduce the frequency of them through helping you and others in your life understand your neurodivergent needs.
All participants receive a FREE journal, and multiple self-care and sensory items throughout the program.
This program is free for all students.
*There are many types of neurodivergence! This workbook and group will mostly focus on.
Identifying patterns and feelings
Understanding and meeting different sensory needs
Mindfulness and self-care accommodated to sensory and focus struggles
If this doesn't fit your struggles individually, we hope you find a tool better fit for your needs! *
This workshop is weekly and builds from week to week. Everyone is welcome to stop in, but consistent attendance is asked for to help both you and the facilitator! Print out of workbook is included to all attendants. Anyone who self-identifies as neurodivergent is welcome.

In this group hosted at the BGSU Counseling Center, students will have a chance to explore their feelings about themselves and their bodies in a supportive environment. We will work to explore the way students think about themselves, their bodies and their appearance to explore ways to feel more confident with who they are. This group meets weekly, and it is a drop-in group, meaning that students can attend as they are able.
The Counseling Center welcomes all students. We aspire to respect cultural, individual and role differences. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive and affirming climate for individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual/affectional orientations, religions, ages, abilities, sizes, socioeconomic statuses, languages and cultures.
