The Office of Inclusive Services (OIS) at UCCS is now the second inclusive postsecondary program in the country to receive National Program Accreditation from The Inclusive Higher Education Accreditation Council (IHEAC) - a remarkable accomplishment! This distinction highlights the OIS' dedication to providing high-quality, inclusive college experiences and officially makes the OIS a national role model. Amongst several accolades, the IHEAC noted the OIS' leadership in person driven planning and meaningful inclusion "particularly [for students] with high support needs."
OIS Director, Dr. Christi Kasa, shares, "We are honored to be a part of this vibrant and important community committed to inclusiveness for all.”
