Our three alumni in the Plus One Main Street program have officially kicked off fall in their inclusive living space at The Flats!
TerpsEXCEED’s own Peer Mentor Amira Dacy was awarded the 2022-2023 Transform Mid-Atlantic Civic Fellow position! She is a Dietetics major and Disability Studies minor at UMD. She started as a Peer Mentor for TerpsEXCEED as a freshman and has since become a lead peer mentor and undergraduate researcher.
Amira describes her position and how it has impacted her: “My job is to support the inclusion of TerpsEXCEED students in every space on campus classrooms, athletic events, dining areas, performance spaces, the gym. I also educate others about maximizing accessibility and engage in research designed to evaluate the success of post-secondary education programs like TerpsEXCEED.”
The President of the University of Maryland distinguishes Amira through her leadership and motivation, “Her commitment to civic engagement and leadership will undoubtedly continue to inspire others and create positive change in the world." We cannot wait to see what our mentors can accomplish next. Read more Here.
