Inclusion, Diversity & Equity
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.
