Akeem Anderson, a University of Minnesota J.D./Ph.D. student interested in the intersection of race, health, and law, is adding the Institute’s Disability Policy and Services Certificate to his already hefty academic pursuits.
As a direct support professional (DSP), Ellen Wiederhoeft wants to better understand the policies and infrastructure affecting the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
Julie Li Yang wants to deepen her skills in helping her three children with autism, and at the same time broaden her future career aspirations as she completes her master’s degree in public health.
For her independent learning experience as part of the certificate program, Mary Troullier envisions building on her experience teaching yoga to students with disabilities to develop training materials for other teachers.
The certificate will enhance her credentials as she also pursues a master’s degree in physical activity and health.
