Campus OutreachBuilding awareness, one campus at a time.
The Purple Desk Project aims to connect with the people and places that shape a student's experience — and to grow understanding of epilepsy in higher education together.
The communities that make a campus work.
Lasting awareness comes from working with the people already on the ground. These are the groups the project hopes to learn from and collaborate with.
Colleges & universities
Connecting with campuses interested in improving how they support students living with epilepsy.
Disability services offices
Collaborating with the offices that already work with students with epilepsy to strengthen awareness and resources.
Student organizations
Working with student groups to raise awareness and build community around epilepsy on campus.
Epilepsy advocacy groups
Partnering with established epilepsy organizations to share knowledge and avoid reinventing what already exists.
Possibilities we're working toward.
The Purple Desk Project is early in its journey. These are the directions we're exploring — not programs that exist yet, but the work we hope to grow into.
Educational collaborations
Developing shared materials, workshops, and conversations with campuses and organizations that want to deepen understanding of epilepsy in higher education.
Campus awareness initiatives
Exploring ways to bring epilepsy awareness to campuses in a thoughtful, student-centered way — grounded in lived experience rather than slogans.
Resource development
Building out downloadable guides, templates, and educational materials for students and educators, shaped by the people who will actually use them.
Interested in working together?
If your campus, office, organization, or student group would like to explore a collaboration, we'd be glad to talk.
