RSO - Students to End Alzheimer's Disease

The mission of UMass Students to End Alzheimer’s Disease is to educate the student body of the advances and efforts within the world of Alzheimer’s disease. While promoting brain health throughout campus, members of UMass SEAD will actively participate in volunteerism, outreach, and advocacy all while supporting the Alzheimer’s Association and relating societies in their mission to end Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. We believe the people of Amherst, the students within the Five-Colleges, and those living within Berkshire community deserve an outlet of knowledge and understanding surrounding this fatal disease. We intend to hold fundraising events to support the research efforts and care costs of those affected, participate in health-related walks and host educational events on campus. These efforts will provide an outlet for the student body to gain understanding and support of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
