Hello, my name is Olivia and I have epilepsy. I wanted to create a group where people with epilepsy could get together to talk about the everyday worries that come along with this disorder. My goal is to give people who have epilepsy a chance to receive support and validation from other people like them. To provide a safe space to talk about the worries that come along with epilepsy on a daily basis and to not feel alone. This is a group that is open to not only people with epilepsy, but others who want to learn more about how to support a friend or family member who has it. As someone with epilepsy I know it is hard for other people to understand everyday struggles, this is why I wanted to create a group where other people like me could get the validation to make them feel better. See you there!

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) is dedicated to empowering and educating students to advocate for drug policies that are rooted in science, compassion, and social justice. Our mission is to challenge the stigma and misinformation surrounding drug use, while promoting a more rational and humane approach to drug policy at the local, national, and global levels.

We believe that effective drug policy should prioritize public health over punitive measures, recognizing that addiction is a complex health issue rather than a criminal one. Through workshops, educational events, and community outreach, we aim to raise awareness about the harms of the War on Drugs and to foster informed conversations about alternatives that promote safety, harm reduction, and recovery.

Our club will serve as a platform for students to engage in meaningful dialogue, develop critical thinking skills, and collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations. By uniting our voices, we can advocate for policy changes that reflect the needs and realities of our communities, pushing for reforms that ensure equitable treatment for all individuals impacted by drug policies.

Together, we strive to create a campus culture that embraces inclusivity, understanding, and support, while actively working to dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality. SSDP is committed to nurturing a generation of leaders who will champion sensible drug policies that foster health, safety, and justice for everyone.

About the Club

Judo is more than just a martial art. It provides practical self-defense skills, fosters teamwork and
community, and develops essential life qualities such as resilience, problem-solving, and respect for
others.
The Kodokan Judo Club aims to create a safe and welcoming space where students can come together, learn, and grow. Whether you’re interested in self-defense, physical fitness, or personal development, our club offers the opportunity to discover what Judo truly means.

The Philosophy of Judo

Judo was founded by Jigoro Kano, a Japanese educator, politician, and judoka (Judo practitioner). Kanō believed martial arts should go beyond combat. By synthesizing techniques from various jujutsu schools, he created Judo as both a method of training the body and a path for cultivating the mind and spirit. His vision emphasized randori (free practice) for safe, effective training, and placed Judo in the category of a “way” (dō) rather than just a fighting art (jutsu).

At the Kodokan Judo Club, we honor Kanō’s original teachings by practicing Judo in three interconnected
parts:
● Rentai-ho — Judo as physical exercise, developing strength, health, and vitality.
● Shobu-ho — Judo as a martial art, focusing on self-defense and effective technique.
● Shushin-ho — Judo as a way of life, cultivating wisdom, virtue, and applying Judo principles to
daily challenges.

Why Join?

Judo is the Way of using one's mental and physical strength in the most efficient manner. Through training and practicing techniques for offensive and defensive, one disciplines and cultivates body and spirit, and thereby masters the essence of the Way. Thus, the ultimate goal of judo is to strive for personal perfection by means of this and to benefit the world. - Jigoro Kano 1915

The Kodokan Judo Club offers you the chance to explore these principles, train your body and mind, and
connect with others who share a commitment to growth, respect, and self-improvement.
