From Ohio University News
Ohio University joined public colleges and universities in Ohio to support students with disabilities as they complete their education and prepare to enter the job market through a partnership with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities and the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
Launched in October, the Ohio College2Careers program places a full-time, dedicated vocational rehabilitation counselor in the disability services offices at 15 public colleges and universities.
“Ohio University has made a strong commitment to provide an accessible educational environment that supports all students as they pursue their academic goals,” said President M. Duane Nellis. “We have recently partnered with OOD to offer the Ohio College2Careers program on our campus. This extra level of support will help students with disabilities navigate their college experience as they prepare for a satisfying and successful professional future.”
