Introducing Elevate

In January 2025, we welcomed seven students who make up the inaugural cohort of NC State’s inclusive postsecondary education program, Elevate. Administratively housed in the College of Education, Elevate is a university-wide initiative designed for North Carolina residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
