Allies Supporting Autism Spectrum Diversity

This morning, College Program team members, Natasha Vance, Ashley C**n, Jessica Jenkins and Nate Hensley trained a room full of new Residence Hall Allies! 💚

Esports is growing quickly here at Marshall University and lead members of the ECA (Esports Club Association) sought out an Allies Training within the 1st week of fall semester to learn how to provide a safe & accomodating group activity for all participants! Esports isn’t just video gaming; students learn leadership, teamwork, communication skills, and so much more! Thank you to the ECA for making inclusivity a priority!
