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.
-- John Fischer
