IN!'s Young Professionals Board is on a roll fundraising for and raising awareness about inclusive higher education in Colorado! Here we share some of their latest endeavors.

IN! is accepting applications for a free 6 week program to learn more about what life is like in college! Inspiring Futures is a chance for students thinking about college to meet and get to know current college students with intellectual disabilities.

In this issue, you will find information on: Inspiring Futures college mentorship program, care packages for students, results of IN!'s needs assessment, upcoming UCCS Inclusive Services open house, webinar on the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and IN! handouts and additional resources.

IN! conducted a statewide needs assessment to look at current barriers to college for students with intellectual disabilities in Colorado. In this post, we share the results.

College students with intellectual disabilities (ID) can access many of the same resources as anyone else with ID. Whether you are thinking college or not, a variety of disability organizations are offering free classes this fall that cover resources available to adults with ID. These organizations are a wealth of knowledge on preparing for life after high school, and connecting adults to resources you might not yet know about.

IN!'s newsletter is back for the school year with an all new student video! This edition covers upcoming events (needs assessment results, webinar), our new self-paced learning series, recent fundraising events (special thanks to Enercom, CT Lighting & Controls, and Johnson Storage & Moving), and recent successes of our Young Professionals Board.
