Calendar events
June 22 - 27, 2008
The Summer Transition Education Program (STEP) is an interactive weeklong college experience for young adults with disabilities presented by the Center for Disabilities Studies in partnership with the Division for the Visually Impaired (DVI).
STEP begins on Sunday afternoon, June 22, 2008, when participating students move into the dorms of the University of Delaware’s Newark campus. They will begin a week of career exploration, advocacy development, college-life orientation, and goal-setting. At night, the students will have the opportunity to participate in fun, hands-on activities and social events. They will graduate from STEP at a ceremony on Friday, June 27, 2008.
The week-long program includes all meals, dormitory housing, classes, evening activities, and materials. The fee to attend STEP is $1,400. The fee is waived for students accepted into the program who were invited to apply by DVI. Accepted students from DVI will also participate in pre- and post-STEP activities.
