What does Inclusion mean at Syracuse?

It means you belong here — fully. InclusiveU, developed by the Taishoff Center, opens every door at SU: classes, sports, social life, and community.

College is an option

Our goal is simple. Help you build the foundation you need to pursue the future you want.

Disability = Diversity

Syracuse University is known around the world as a leader in disability and higher education. At SU, we celebrate disability because it makes our campus stronger, more diverse, and much more interesting; until everyone is included, there is no real inclusion for anyone.

InclusiveU is an initiative of the Taishoff Center for Inclusive Higher Education, committed to individualized and inclusive higher educational opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
