Also, there may be certain situations where we choose to advocate and others where we stay silent. In our lives, where the average person spends 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime while working in challenging environments, we must advocate for ourselves to decrease our burnout. In this session, we will talk about self-advocacy, ask participants to share examples of ways they have advocated for themselves, and then do a group activity focused on self-advocacy.

Kate DeForest believes the four laws of Atomic Habits—make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying—can help improve digital accessibility on our campus.
