He transferred from another institution, enrolled as a mature, part-time student and balanced work with his studies. Originally from Hong Kong, Leung manages schizoaffective disorder, a mental health condition that is rarely discussed openly among students. \u201cYou get used to filling out forms, explaining your situation and hoping someone will listen,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes, you just want to get through the day without extra hassle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His experiences led him to mentorship and advocacy. Leung volunteers with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/colleges\/new\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New College<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/students.yorku.ca\/acmaps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atkinson Centre for Mature and Part-time Students<\/a>. He also works with Project ADVANCE, which helps high school students transition to university. He\u2019s been active in organizing mental health workshops and peer support groups, collaborating with Student Accessibility Services and student organizations such as ActiveMinds @ York and the 快播视频 Mature Students Organization (YUMSO) to create a more inclusive campus culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leung\u2019s advice is direct and pragmatic: use assistive technology, break assignments into smaller tasks and don\u2019t wait too long to ask for help. \u201cI show people the tools I use \u2013 Livescribe for notes, Dragon for dictation, Kurzweil for reading. It\u2019s not glamorous, but it works.\u201d He also shares stress management strategies and encourages students to build routines that include mindfulness and regular breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, he does not shy away from discussing setbacks. \u201cI\u2019ve had semesters where I barely made it through,\u201d Leung says. \u201cBut I also know what it\u2019s like to have someone in your corner, even if it\u2019s just to say, \u2018You\u2019re not the only one.\u2019\u201d His approach to mentorship is grounded in sharing what he has learned through experience, not offering pep talks. Students come to him with questions about accommodations or how to communicate with professors. Sometimes, they just need to hear from someone who has managed to carve out a place at York while juggling more than coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leung is focused on the day-to-day realities students face. He is interested in the conversations that happen outside official channels, where students talk honestly about stigma and the fear of being seen as less capable. \u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of silence around invisible disabilities,\u201d he says. \u201cPeople worry about being judged, or about being seen as less capable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National AccessAbility Week (May 25 to 31) brings these issues into focus, but Leung\u2019s work continues year-round. He isn\u2019t waiting for policy changes to make a difference. \u201cI want students to know that support is there, and that it\u2019s OK to use it,\u201d he says. \u201cMost of us are just trying to get through the semester. If I can make that a little easier for someone, that\u2019s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\u2019s not a professor or a counsellor \u2013 but when 快播视频 students need real advice, they turn to Ming Kan Leung.
