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. | ||
