Campus Connect is an innovative approach to inclusive post-secondary education for students with disabilities. The Campus Connect program is a partnership between Madison College and the MMSD. The program takes place on the Madison College campus and provides an opportunity for students who require more than the traditional level of support to be successful in a college environment. Campus Connect has the goal of providing relevant post-secondary academic/vocational preparation leading to paid employment in an area identified by the student. The program is available to students with disabilities who are 18 years of age or older and still enrolled in high school.
