2023 Spotlight on Faculty Research - Ram Initiative - West Chester University

The RAM initiative is a program at West Chester University, bringing students with intellectual disabilities, ages 18-24, to campus in very small numbers, to participate in a two-year inclusive post-secondary education experience. The RAM initiative is ‘inclusive’ in that RAM students learn and interact with all students, faculty, staff and administrators on campus, not in segregated environments. The students take classes on either an Audit or For Credit basis and have a non-traditional application/admissions process. RAM Initiative students are full- time students, have full privileges of the university, and are eligible for Pell Grants and Federal Financial Work Study programs (if financially eligible by filling out a FASFA form).
