The Society for the Study of Celiac Disease, along with speakers from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, Boston Children’s Hospital, MetroHealth, the Celiac Disease Foundation, and Schar USA held the annual SSCD College Summit on Thursday April 4th, 2024. This program was designed for high school seniors and current college students diagnosed with celiac disease to learn about managing celiac disease and the gluten-free diet in the college environment. The webinar addressed the following topics:

• Transition to college with celiac disease 
• Medical management of celiac disease in the college setting 
• How your health care team can support you in college
• Reasonable accommodations for celiac disease in college
• Accessing gluten-free food on a college campus
• Stocking your dorm room with gluten-free food 
• Working with the Office of Disability Services  
• Navigating Challenging Situations

On Wednesday February 7, 2024, the Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (SSCD) held its first quarterly webinar of 2024 for members to learn about “Under Represented Populations in Celiac Disease.”  The webinar featured three incredible speakers,  Dr. Javier Villafuerte-Gálvez from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Amanda Cartee from the University of Alabama Hospital Center, and Dr. Haley Zylberberg from Columbia University Medical Center Hospital.  The presentations were followed by a Q&A and discussion about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in the celiac disease community. Finally, a new grant sponsored by the Celiac Disease Foundation was announced.

Key takeaways from the presentations included:  

• When addressing disparities in celiac disease diagnosis, management, and treatment, it is important to consider the existence of profound knowledge gaps, different eating habits (preferences and cultures), and language barriers. 
• There may be a gap in testing, diagnosis, and healthcare access among underrepresented and underdiagnosed populations. 
• By addressing these challenges, we can better support individuals living with celiac disease and ensure they have access to the resources and information they need to manage their condition effectively.
