My name is Emily and I am so grateful to be a part of the CCS team at PSU. Together we are helping students with varying levels of ability on their path to higher learning and financial independence. These programs are vital to the wellbeing of communities and individuals as they help people with intellectual disabilities gain confidence and independence. After graduating from these programs they no longer need to rely on family or other services as heavily and have the support to grow into the powerful members of society that they want to be! Please support the Senate Bill 572 in Oregon to support our program at PSU and establish post-secondary programs like this in community colleges in Oregon!
