The 2018-19 school year has begun!

The past few weeks have been full of college orientations, back to school activities, move-in (for students opting to live in dorms or apartments), and the start of the semester for 48 students with intellectual disabilities in Colorado.

This year marks the third year of the "Inclusive Higher Education Initiative" at Arapahoe Community College, the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. With the academic, career, and social supports in place on each campus, students are truly excelling. Career interests range far and wide, including but not limited to, early childhood education, nursing, brewing, and mechanics. Social interests are just as diverse, ranging from knitting to student government to rugby.

To the students out there, IN! is excited to see what this year brings for you and wishes you all the best!
