Michigan State University is proud to present an
exciting college transition program for high school students with
disabilities. The VENTURE PROGRAM invites students ages 16-18 to join us
for a unique on-campus pre-college experience. Venture offers students
the chance to “try on” university life through an interactive experience
at MSU. This experience will benefit all students, regardless of
whether they are planning on attending a 2 or 4 year college.
Students will:
- Talk directly with current MSU students with disabilities who have “been there” and understand the journey
- Consult with university disability specialists to learn skills for college
- Experience firsthand the latest assistive technology through breakout sessions during the program
- Attend a college class, stay two nights in an accessible residence hall, and build connections with other high school students with disabilities
- Become aware of self-advocacy skills and resources for a successful transition
- Develop a long-range goal that includes a vision of higher education
- Check it out today if it sounds like an option for you. Go to https://www.rcpd.msu.edu/programs/project-venture or contact:
