    College Spaces From Different Places: Starting the New Semester with Success

    When: Tuesday September 14, from 7:00 – 8:30 PM

    This month’s topic is all about a successful college experience. Come learn all about joining student organizations, finding helpful educational and counseling resources, and effectively utilizing DOR services throughout your college journey. Additionally, we’ll be talking about grocery shopping and planning meals when on a college budget. Bring all your questions and tell all your friends, you won’t want to miss this one!

    College Spaces from Different Places is a peer led student organization which cultivates connections and community for all undergraduate college students. College Spaces from Different Places is a group designed by and for low vision and blind students to have fun, build community, and share in our struggles and accomplishments. Many undergrads are currently missing out on forming social connections on their own college campus. Therefore, joining College Spaces from Different Places will give you an opportunity to come together with others from across the state. Leave your books and syllabi behind and join us!

    If you have any questions or would like to be part of future College Spaces from Different Places gatherings, contact Daisy Soto dsoto@lighthouse-sf.org or call 415-694-7328To learn more. Please RSVP by September 10, 2021 to receive the Zoom link.
