Purdue University Chapter of NORD Students for Rare is hosting a symposium, One Voice for the Rare: Awareness, Advocacy, Action, in honor of Rare Disease Day. Rare diseases are defined as conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., though definitions may vary internationally. These diseases, while individually uncommon, collectively impact a significant number of individuals. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports approximately 7,000 identified rare diseases, with new conditions being discovered regularly. “Educate” yourself and your loved ones! Join us in making a meaningful impact on science, education, and the rare disorders community’s diversity, inclusion, and equity. Together, let’s be influential in creating awareness and support!
Note: The seminar will be video recorded, and photos will be taken. To participate in the seminar in person, please register!
