Last Thursday, the University hosted the premiere of Respect Ability, a new video highlighting the Campus for All initiative.

Campus for All is the University of Regina’s four-year Inclusive Post-Secondary Education experience for students with intellectual disabilities.

Campus for All began almost a decade ago in the Faculty of Education and has now expanded across campus giving young adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to attend classes, participate in campus activities, make friends, work with mentors, enhance their literacy skills and prepare for the work world.

At the same time students in degree programs have the opportunity to become mentors and get to know and work with persons with disabilities.

Campus for All is now accepting applications for the Fall of 2015. For more information on the programs offered please visit here.
