✨ This week, our Student Ambassadors spoke to future teachers about real inclusion.
💬 Students shared what it feels like to belong… and what it feels like when they don’t.
💡 Key takeaway: inclusion isn’t just about where you sit—it’s about feeling seen, valued, and connected.
🤝 A big thank you to the University of Utah College of Education & our amazing ambassadors for sharing their voices and shaping inclusive classrooms for all.

We’re so inspired by @sammysbuddyprogram and their mission to pair students with and without disabilities to build lifelong friendships.
As Anne Kimble says, the solution to isolation is creating real connections where every student feels seen and valued.
