"I would feel personally fulfilled when every student with IDD has the opportunity to pursue higher education if they so choose. Hearing about the students’ excitement when they are accepted into the programs, and then again when they graduate is very gratifying. Meeting the families and hearing their struggles, their fears, their joy, and their willingness to the pioneers for others to follow has been inspirational. The organization has a long way to go to provide those opportunities for all the students who want to seize that chance. I have enjoyed being part of that, and look forward to the opportunity to once again be a part of it."
