Support the RISE Act!

This summer, the Respond, Innovate, Succeed and Empower Act, or RISE Act, a bipartisan, bicameral bill was introduced into legislature! This act would make a considerable difference in how students with disabilities access post-secondary education. The Act would allow students to use documentation from their secondary education as proof that they have a disability and need accommodations while attending a college or university.

You can find out more about the status of the bill by reading the article published in the Inside Higher ED article!

We sat with down with Marcus Griffith, Disability Accommodation Specialist at CUNY Guttman to discuss how Image Impact’s Mentoring 4 Impact program has impacted his students and what he sees as it’s greatest success. As 25% of students have some sort of disability, these workshops and one-on-one mentoring provide an interactive format for students to gain personalized advice. Being with students who are in a similar situation helps them feel more comfortable opening up. The success of this year’s program and recent graduation is sure to create a buzz and excitement for next year.
