Text on the post includes a Q&A with Ava, where she answers questions about her experience in the peer mentoring program. It reads:

WHY IS PEER MENTORING VALUABLE TO YOU?
“Mentorship is a very special kind of relationship - it’s about honoring and learning from someone’s lived experiences so your own path can feel more informed and meaningful. This program has helped me value guidance, have more confidence in the steps I take, and build genuinely meaningful friendships.“

HOW HAS MENTORING IMPACTED YOUR EXPERIENCE ON CAMPUS?

“Mentorship has made my campus experience much easier to navigate - decisions feel less overwhelming, and people feel more approachable. With fewer unknowns, I’ve been able to avoid paths that wouldn’t have been right for me and become more self-assured through my choices.”

HOW DO YOU THINK MENTEES BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM?

“It’s easy to push help away and feel empowered to do everything on your own - that’s always been my default. Having a mentor gives you stability and encouragement, and reminds you how important it is to feel seen and validated while being guided by someone’s experiential truth!”

WHY IS PEER MENTORING VALUABLE TO YOU?

“I have met so many people from peer mentoring that I would not have otherwise met, with unique perspectives on disability and disabled student life.”

HOW DO YOU THINK MENTEES BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM?

“I hope that peer mentoring helps mentees feel less alone, and that there is someone at Barnard that might understand their struggles and that can help with them.”

CARDS is excited to highlight the incredible work of our peer mentors during Accessibility Week! Our peer mentors are upperclassmen registered with CARDS who make a meaningful impact in our community by serving as welcoming peers and invaluable resources for underclassmen navigating college with a disability.

Alt text: this post shows a graphic highlighting CARDS’ Peer Mentor Spotlight for Accessibility Week. The post introduces peer mentor Madhavi Kennedy and includes the following text:

WHY IS PEER MENTORING VALUABLE TO YOU?

“Prior to college, I didn’t really have any mentors when it came to my learning disabilities. It’s so valuable for me to be able to be the mentor I never had!”

HOW HAS MENTORING IMPACTED YOUR EXPERIENCE ON CAMPUS?

“I love the community it brings within the larger Barnard community. It truly makes my day when I see other mentees and mentors around campus and can have even a brief conversation just checking in.”

HOW DO YOU THINK MENTEES BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM?

“I think it brings a sense of belonging on campus and assures them that they always have someone in their corner!”

As we close out our ADHD Awareness series, we want to thank everyone who participated in sharing their experiences. We are always looking to elevate students' voices and will continue to share about ADHD throughout the year.

[Image Description: Slide 1: Beige background with dainty leaves and abstract shapes in the corner. A silhouette of two heads facing opposite directions is on the top of the post with stars above one and squiggles above the other. Blue text in the center reads ‘ADHD Awareness Month.” Bold text below reads “What is one truth about living with ADHD?” Student response reads “‘I have trouble focusing on certain tasks that do not interest me, and sometimes I even struggle to complete tasks that really matter to me. However, there are so many ways to navigate these struggles and I have found quite a few resources through talking to my other neurodivergent friends and working with an ADHD coach at CARDS.” - ESRS, ‘23 Slide 3: Beige background with dainty leaves and abstract shapes in the corner. A silhouette of two heads facing opposite directions is on the top of the post with stars above one and squiggles above the other. Blue text in the center reads ‘ADHD Awareness Month.” Bold text below reads “Anything else to add?” Student response reads “‘ADHD is not a problem, it's just that society is often built in a way that is not friendly to neurodivergency. ADHD is a superpower, and one of my favorite things about my brain is that I can hyperfocus on things that really interest me and also make connections between seemingly unrelated things. I love being creative and "scattered." -ESRS, ‘23”]
