ALT Down Syndrome Awareness Month UI REACH Student Spotlight "One thing I want people to know is that we are smart enough to do whatever we put our mind into."

ALT Down Syndrome Awareness Month UI REACH Student Spotlight Parker Libolt I want people to know that I’m just like anyone else! I love get-togethers and being around lots of people. Through high school sports, Unified teams, and intramurals, I’ve made great friends along the way both with and without disabilities. My family, friends and teammates always held me accountable with no free passes, and I love that. I just want to be included, pushed to do my best, and treated the same as everyone else. Go Hawks!"
Fall Coloring Night was full of creativity, connection, and autumn fun! A big thank-you to Dance Marathon for collaborating with UI REACH and helping make this event special.
