- To offer more opportunities for SIGNA members to make friends who will appreciate their diversity and individuality
SIGNA is proud to embrace the neuro-diverse talents and abilities our students bring to the University of Maryland. We also recognize that there are areas that students would like to improve upon, just like other students here on campus.
