Think College on the Move!

--

Several Think College team members travelled to Baltimore, MD for three events in mid-July. First, they hosted the annual TPSID Project Director Meeting, which kicked off with a beautiful tribute video to Debra Hart compiled by Chelsea Stinnett.

Nine members of the Think College staff pose smiling at the camera in front of the conference logo on a tv screen behind them.

The NCC Accreditation Workgroup also met in Baltimore for their annual in-person meeting and Think College staff wrapped up the busy week with an exhibit and presentation at the AHEAD (Association on Higher Education and Disability) conference.

The 17 members of the Workgroup stand in front of a projector screen, which has the Think College NCC logo shown.

The following week, Cate, Rebecca, Susanna, and Olivia headed to Phoenix, Arizona to participate in the National Down Syndrome Congress’ (NDSC) annual convention where they exhibited. They also hosted the sixth annual NDSC College Fair, always a fun and energizing event. Ruby’s Rainbow was in attendance and presented scholarships to college students with Down syndrome.
