The Minnesota Inclusive Higher Education Consortium (MIHEC) is a parent-led collaborative group of stakeholders including inclusive higher education institutions, local education agencies, key state agencies, students, advocates, families, legislators, and nonprofits who are committed to expanding postsecondary education opportunities for interested youth, young adults and adults with intellectual disability from all ethnic, cultural, linguistic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The Minnesota Inclusive Higher Education Consortium’s main purpose is to provide tools and resources, professional development, and technical assistance to collaboratively develop and enhance inclusive higher education initiatives across the state. As a result, more people with an intellectual disability will have access to high-quality, inclusive postsecondary education. Our work aims toward the individual outcomes of attending college, earning a credential, integrated, competitive employment, higher wages, and living more independently.
