HUTCHINSON — The University of Kansas Transition to Postsecondary Education (KU TPE) program will host an information session in partnership with the Reno County Education Cooperative (RCEC) on Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Reno County Special Education Cooperative, 2500 E. 30th Ave.
The KU TPE program is a two-year undergraduate certificate designed for KU students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program provides an inclusive college experience that allows participants to take KU courses for credit, join student clubs and organizations, live in student housing, and participate in both paid and unpaid career internships. Upon completion, students earn a KU undergraduate certificate on their transcript.
During the Hutchinson session, families will have the opportunity to meet KU TPE staff, learn more about the program, hear from current participants, and ask questions.
The event is open to families of middle and high school students, though parents of younger students interested in future opportunities are also encouraged to attend.
