CLEMSONLIFE
Learning Is For Everyone

A college experience is a part
of growing up...

The ClemsonLIFE™ Program at Clemson University is designed for students with intellectual disabilities who desire a postsecondary experience on a college campus.

***It is possible that we will have an opening for spring semester in January 2010. Please contact the program manager immediately if you are interested in looking into this.

We Believe...

  • That all young adults go through a similar development process that requires certain activities, experience and support.
     
  • That all young adults must develop skills and an understanding about themselves and the world around them in order to fully participate in society and to become successful, contributing adults.
     
  • That higher education is a vehicle for self-empowerment and access to social networks, employment and independence.
     
  • That group membership provides essential motivation and support for learning and participation in community life.

Our Mission...

The mission of the ClemsonLIFE Program at Clemson University is to provide a coordinated course of study that includes career exploration and preparation along with self-awareness, discovery, and personal improvement through a framework of courses, job internships, and community participation.


Each person has an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different and to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.
