College of Charleston L.I.F.E.
The L.I.F.E. (Learning Is For Everyone) program at the College of Charleston is a four-year inclusive program for students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. The purpose of the program is to provide the opportunity for all students to realize their intellectual and personal potential, and to become responsible, productive members of society. LIFE students will participate in the academic, residential, social, and cultural experiences offered by the College, with appropriate support for success. The program will commence in the beginning of Fall Semester 2010.
The LIFE program offers an opportunity for the College to extend its mission of providing extensive credit and non-credit programs to students whose quality of life and opportunities to contribute to society hinge on access to educational opportunities in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. The College of Charleston is eager to fill a much-needed void by meeting the growing educational demands of this group of individuals, and at the same time increase diversity on a campus that is rooted in the liberal arts philosophy of embracing diversity and forward-thinking for a better society.
Life Program planning and development is supported by a grant from College Transition Connection written by Dr. Cindi May in the Psychology Department with Dr. Fran Welch, Dean of the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance as co-author.
