Empowered Students, Meaningful Connections!
At Julia’s Learning at Wingate, inclusion isn’t just an idea—it’s a lived experience. This semester, the collaboration between Julia’s Learning students and the School of Sport Sciences Leadership students has created an enriching environment where both groups are growing, learning, and leading together.
With Leadership students stepping up as teaching assistants, the impact has been twofold. Julia’s Learning students are gaining valuable academic and social support, while Leadership students are developing essential skills in mentorship, adaptability, and inclusive education. Together, they are fostering a campus culture that celebrates diverse abilities and encourages personal growth for all.
A Community of Growth and Empowerment
The dynamic between these two groups goes beyond the classroom. Julia’s Learning students are building confidence, strengthening their skills, and forming meaningful relationships. At the same time, Leadership students are gaining hands-on experience that will shape their careers and perspectives on inclusive leadership. Through guidance from faculty like Dr. Brandy Clemmer, Dean of the School of Sport Sciences, these experiences are shaping a future where collaboration and inclusion go hand in hand.
Looking Ahead
As we continue this journey, we look forward to expanding opportunities for mentorship, learning, and shared success. Thank you to the School of Sport Sciences for your partnership and dedication to building a truly inclusive campus.
