Inclusive Higher Education- University of Memphis Institute on Disability, Dr. Chrisann Schiro-Geist and Patrick Krolik Ep. 166

We have a LIFE changing episode this week for episode 166 of The Hidden Workforce!

Well- this episode could be life-changing for your loved one who lives with a disability!

This week, we welcome Dr. Chrisann Schiro-Geist and Patrick Krolik with the University of Memphis Institute on Disability! 🐅

They discuss the amazing success of their Inclusive Higher Education program “TigerLIFE” (in context to Oklahoma, think OU Sooner Works, OSU Operation Orange Scholars, and NSU RiverHawk Scholars!).

The LIFE in TigerLIFE stands for Learning Independence, Fostering Employment & Education- and they do that and more at the University of Memphis and their Institute on Disability. Research, Inclusion, and a 70% employment placement rate upon graduation- tune in to hear about this as well as Rehabilitation Services, “Ticket to Work,” and more!
