This Just IN! 

IN! is thrilled to announce that thirty-five students with intellectual disabilities are on campus this fall, taking college classes and participating in campus life.  2017/18 begins the second year of the "Inclusive Higher Education Pilot Initiative" at Arapahoe Community College, the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.  The students have had a busy couple of weeks engaging in many of the campus activities and acclimating to their new schedules, classes, and friends. Some of the students are living on campus in dorms or apartments. While the first year students get adjusted to college, the second-year students will begin to explore career-related internships. All the students receive additional academic and social support through person-centered planning and peer monitors.  The support systems encourage the students to participate in campus activities and become active, contributing members of their school.

This year's event, Cut Footloose, treated guests to a spectacular summer evening of yard games, a southern barbecue and a whole lot of dancing!

Marijo Rymer and Dr. Corry Robinson-Rosenberg were honored with the IN!spirational Person of the Year award for their tireless and long-standing efforts to make sure that people with intellectual disabilities have the same opportunities that we all are afforded to live healthy, happy and independent lives. 

Thanks to our amazing sponsors and guests more than $54,000 was raised to support and create inclusive higher education opportunities in Colorado for students with intellectual disabilities.
