May 15 has been declared Inclusive Postsecondary Education Day or IPSE Day. The first IPSE Day was held in 2020 and was spearheaded by the Southeast Postsecondary Education Alliance (SEPSEA) to celebrate and bring awareness to inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs, students, staff, and alumni across the Southeast and the country. IPSE programs, like Aggie ACHIEVE provide opportunities for study beyond high school to students who historically have not been presented with these possibilities. These programs change lives by making college accessible for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
