[NABS-L] Starting Soon: NABS Membership Social

[Nikhil Dadlani]

*Good afternoon, NABS Nation,*

My name is Akliesia  Teshome, and I have the honor of serving as the
Co-Chair of the Membership Committee. I am currently a rising junior at
Boston University, majoring in Economics with a minor in Business. Outside
of academics, I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling
internationally, and exploring different boba tea shops.

On behalf of our incredible Committee, I am thrilled to invite you to our
upcoming Membership Call. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect,
share ideas, and strengthen our NABS community. Please find the information
below and we hope to see you there!

*WHO?* If you’re a high school or college student (NABS member or not)
feeling the chaos of the back-to-school season, this one’s for you!

Whether you’re:

   - Looking for a quick study break
   - Curious about how other blind students are navigating college
   - Wanting to share your own tips and stories

✨ We want YOU in the room! Bring a friend (or five) so they can get to know
the most amazing student network in the country.

*WHAT’S HAPPENING?*
This isn’t your average Zoom call! We’ll be diving into four fun and
interactive breakout rooms, hosted by blind students like YOU:

   - 📖 *Bookworms Unite:* Swapping book recs and accessible reads
   - 🏅 *Adaptive Athlete Hour:* Talking blind sports and how to bring them
   to your campus
   - 🎭 *Clubs, Culture, and Campus Life:* Tips and tricks for joining or
   leading clubs
   - 🎓 *Smarty Pants Savvy:* Finding academic resources (writing centers,
   disability services, and more)

*WHY COME?*
Because NABS is the moment, the movement, and a network of blind students
who are driven, diverse, and ready to lift each other up. You’ll walk away
with:

   - Practical knowledge you won’t get anywhere else
   - New friends who *get* you
   - A deeper connection to the blind student community
   - A gateway into years of connections, knowledge, and fun

So what are you waiting for? Take a recess with NABS and make this your
coolest comeback yet!
