“I Got Accepted!” Student With Down Syndrome Finds Out He’s Headed to College

By C. J. Refsland on December 22, 2013 • ( 2 )

My Comment: In a world that has gone crazy, this is soooo heartwarming. Good luck Rion and God Bless You!

In response to all the positive feedback, Susan posted:

“Thanks for the encouragement. A little explanation for those who find this perplexing….Rion was accepted into a special program called Clemson LIFE. This is an amazing two year program for a small number (15) of young adults with special needs. This isn’t a program in which one can earn a degree. Right now, Clemson is one of five universities in SC with a LIFE program. I love that kids like Rion get to experience college life and this type of independence. Proud of my alma mater!”
