Description : WhyArts partners with the Transitions Program providing opportunities for autistic young adults to practice and enhance social competencies in structured and unstructured group events on and off the UNO campus. This partnership began in 2015 and is ongoing at the beginning of each semester with WhyArts facilitating a session at the beginning of each semester (1 hour). The partnership supports UNO Transition's participants on the autism spectrum and those UNO students in learning and other meaningful experiences. CEPI does not account for projects prior to 2015 so this project entry begins in 2016 within the system. Each semester there are 3 to 4 graduate students and 4-5 undergraduate students involved.

Education
Description : UNO students that are teacher candidates visit Benson High School two times each to observe the Benson ESL class that discusses culture and personal immigration stories. They sit in to listen to presentations and provide any insight on what culture means around the world. UNO students helped the ESL students learn what culture is and how to feel more confident expressing their culture in the classroom. This allows the UNO students to practice teacher education skills in real time. UNO students come to a final celebration to celebrate with students on their findings and personal interviews with someone they know about culture. P-16 service learning project TED 2050.002
