Program Director Sarah Bodily recently conducted a training session for the Aggies Elevated mentors that included some policy changes, new reporting requirements, and everyone’s favorite activity–role playing.
One mentor attended via Adobe Connect from her home on the East Coast, and all agreed that the information was a valuable addition to their mentor toolkits.

Aggies Elevated at Utah State University believes that all individuals, regardless of ability, have the right to meaningful employment, lifelong learning, self-determination and full community inclusion. Utilizing the MyCLIMB (My Career Ladder to Independence, Maturity & Balance) person-centered planning model, Aggies Elevated students, along with invited family members and/or other stakeholders, will chart their own paths toward independence within an individualized framework of supports that identifies challenges, builds on individual strengths and encourages personal responsibility.
