Every Wednesday, The 
Michigan Daily will be asking 
a University affiliate what 
the University’s Bicentennial 
means to them. 

“The Bicentennial is really cool 
because we’re able to not only 
think about our past, but look 
forward to the future. There are 
a lot of initiatives, like Campus 
of the Future and M-BARC, 
which is making a time capsule 
of our entire history essentially, 
so there’s a lot of reflection but 
a lot of planning for the future, 
too, which I think is cool. I think 
reflection is a huge part of — as 
an institution — what we have 
to do in order to learn from our 
past and make a better future 
for our students.”

LSA senior Victoria Rai

WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K

Several members of Central 

Student Government gathered 
in the Chemistry Building 
to spread autism awareness 
Tuesday 
afternoon. 
CSG 

engaged passing students with 
their brightly colored table and 
wheel, which students could 
spin to learn facts about autism 
and engage in conversation.

Public Policy senior Nadine 

Jawad, 
Central 
Student 

Government vice president, 
and 
LSA 
senior 
Shavon 

Edwards, 
senior 
policy 

adviser to Jawad, said they 
have 
dedicated 
themselves 

to promoting neurodiversity 

acceptance 
throughout 
the 

academic 
year, 
putting 
on 

events each month to reach 
out to and educate students 
around campus.

 Few metrics exist around 

austism 
at 
the 
University, 

Jawad 
and 
Edwards 
said, 

because many students are 
either undiagnosed or do not 
disclose to the university. 

Jawad said the issue of 

neurodiversity 
stands 
out 

to her because it touches so 
many students in some way, 
including all members of CSG 
present at Tuesday’s event 
surrounding this issue.

“What’s interesting about 

the 
team 
that’s 
putting 

this together is that we all 
have a different reason and 

experience behind why we 
think that this is important,” 
she said. “From an allyhood 
perspective we need to make 
campus more inclusive and 
accessible to everyone who 
studies here.”

CSG would like to make 

all students at the University 
of 
Michigan 
more 
aware 

of autism in the hopes that 
students will become informed 
enough to become allies to 
autistic peers. LSA freshman 
Usha Yeruva, intern to the 
senior policy adviser, said 
CSG aims to impress upon 
the student body the idea that 
everyone experiences autism 
differently.

“If you’ve met one person 

with autism, you’ve met one 

person 
with 
autism 
and 

that’s something we are 
really 
trying 
to 
push,” 

Yeruva said.

Last 
year’s 
campus 

Diversity, 
Equity 
and 

Inclusion 
climate 
survey 

revealed disabled students 
are 145 percent more likely to 
experience 
discrimination 

than 
students 
without 

disabilities.

Education 
graduate 

student 
Jeff 
Edelstein, 

co-founder of the nonprofit 
College Autism Network, 
was also present at the event. 
Edelstein’s 
organization 

acts as an informational 
hub, connecting students 
with autism to resources 
they need.

“Around 
disability, 

outward or inward, if we 
are trying to create a more 
inclusive campus, students 
with disabilities need to be 
acknowledged to a greater 
degree and there needs to 
be stronger allyhood among 
students,” Edelstein said.

Central Student Government aims 
to spread acceptance for autism

Event comes as many students do not disclose their autism to the University
