What Community and Belonging mean to me.

Physiologists know that relationships between various parts of the body transcend anatomical structures. Function – Life itself – results from a myriad operations and interactions among those parts. Every piece of an organism performs singular or multiple functions. The sum of all these small and large workings makes an individual – distinct and complete. Likewise, in our community, our activities have significant effects in the function of the social body.

At COM-T, we aim to bring us together to build a more cohesive and functional community—one where we take care of ourselves, where we are connected, supported, and encouraged to be the best we can. Everyone is welcome to participate, all are encouraged to provide, each of us is asked to care
