When contacted, the Office of Residence Life will discuss with each winner how to select a room for themself and their chosen roommate. _____________ [IMPORTANT DETAILS] Students are not required to have their $200 initial housing payment made to be eligible to win. However, before any student can be assigned to a room, the initial housing payment must be paid. The additional student who is pulled into the room by a winner must have their housing and meal plan agreement signed and paid their $200 initial payment at the time of the room selection. They must also be a new incoming student admitted at BGSU to qualify. This prize does not offer any discount on the housing rate, and each student assigned to a room through this giveaway will be responsible for the full payment of the room in accordance with their student bill. Cancellations to the agreement by May 1, 2023, will receive a 100% refund and will not be billed. Cancelations after May 1, 2023, will be granted in accordance with the forfeiture schedule. If the winner does not submit an eligible student to be their roommate by the Office of Residence Life deadline, the remaining space will be forfeited. Once a student has won one of the 20 prizes, they will no longer be eligible to win the remaining prizes for this giveaway. Students who have agreed to be the roommate of one of the winners will also not be eligible. 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. If one of the students decides to do a room change into a different room/building or cancels their contract, the vacant bed will open up to standard room selection, and a random roommate may be assigned. Returning students who will be enrolled full-time at BGSU are not eligible to win.  The Office of Residence Life is not responsible for prize notifications being marked as spam, junk or otherwise hidden from the recipient.

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. Questions?

Getting stuck happens. It can be frustrating and overwhelming when we are not sure how to tackle a problem or accomplish a goal. Designers embrace the reality of getting stuck (and knowing it's temporary) and the possibility of getting unstuck. If you want support with your academic habits and routines, consider coming to the Radbill Center Life Design Lab for small group coaching. Life Design Coaches will help you frame your challenges or goals in actionable ways and ask questions and share tools and resources (including campus opportunities) to help you design your way forward. This will also be a great space to build connections with other students who are focused on prioritizing this dimension of their college experience! For questions, please email lifedesign@bgsu.edu or call 419-372-5533
