PUNC is the Princeton University Neurodiversity Collective. We have been in existence for three years, and our mission is to empower Princeton’s self-identifying neurodivergent students, faculty, post-docs, and staff by building supportive communities, advocating for positive visibility and inclusion, and equipping the neurodiverse community with tools for professional and personal success. 

We strive to acknowledge and rectify persistent ableist inequalities and to increase awareness of Princeton's neurodiverse population. PUNC welcomes and celebrates all cognitive identities with or without a specific diagnosis. This group is peer-led.

We hold monthly meetings (“PUNC Together”) and also organize various educational and advocacy events (“PUNC Advocacy”). This past year, we hosted a two-hour workshop and panel discussion during Princeton’s WinterSession titled Neurodiversity in the Academy. For the 2022-23 academic year, we are exploring what to take on, and we’d love your input.

We also invite you to share any ideas you may have about events, programs, or services that we could initiate as a group. If you have any questions, please write to Laura Murray at lcmurray@princeton.edu.

Thanks and we hope to meet you soon!
