State Day 2023

September 25, 2023

Hi there,

I have seen the impact IDEAL at GSU makes on students with intellectual disabilities and their families every day. Since 2017, many students with intellectual disabilities have become a part of the IDEAL Panther Family.

This Fall, 22 students with intellectual disabilities are supported on-campus by IDEAL to gain life skills, employment opportunities, and a meaningful college experience.

Please join me in giving to IDEAL at GSU for #theStateDay.

Your donations ensure students with intellectual disabilities are included at Georgia State University, have access to scholarships and paid employment opportunities, and make a lasting impact on the lives of students with intellectual disabilities at GSU.

If we raise $5,000 this State Day, we will be able to pay for an entire semester of support for an IDEAL student. $10,000 ensures access to paid employment opportunities for multiple students over the next year.

Sincerely,

Spenser Norris, CRC

IDEAL Project Manager

September 17, 2020

HEY EVERYONE! Thank you so much for your continued support. We couldn't have gotten this far without your help. YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPACT.

IDEAL is having a great semester so far and we're adjusting well to the online learning platform, here's a quick recap so far:

We've started a cooking class on Tuesdays with the students and staff, one of our resident chefs is showcasing their skills via Zoom ????.
We kicked off our apprenticeship programs - Art and Design, Acting, Creative Writing, and Music. The students are learning useful techniques and honing in on their skills.
We were just recently interviewed for a segment on the Panther News Network, so be on the lookout for that!

Finally, we're starting an IDEAL BLOG! The students will be posting regularly about their daily life, creative projects, and any other topic of their choosing. Click HERE to check out our website for more info!

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
