The Including All Citizens program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University will see the graduation of three of its first students.
The program, designed by sociology instructor and Inclusion BC president Dr. Fiona Whittington-Walsh, was designed to fully include students with intellectual disabilities into arts courses. The graduates will receive a Faculty of Arts certificate, which consists of 10 courses transferable through the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer.
One of the soon-to-be graduates, Anju Miller, was in the Access Program for People with Disabilities when they collaborated with Whittington-Walsh’s class.
“She actually came in and wanted to do a movie with everybody…and she learned through the first two days that there were a lot of questions that we were discussing and that I was very focused on the movie,” says Miller.
