Bonding and Building Independence

A&M–San Antonio welcomed back a notable group of alumni this summer for the first-ever camp designed specifically for graduates of the Transition University for Career Advancement and Successful Adulthood (TU CASA) program. TU CASA provides a true college experience to students with intellectual disabilities and equips them with the skills needed to transition into independent adulthood. The campers participated in a variety of educational and social activities, including a field trip to nearby auto parts manufacturer Toyotetsu Texas Inc. that offers a job training program for people with disabilities.
