- Mini tour of UMSL North campus (MSC and Recreation and Wellness Center)
- Hang out with our current students, including lunch (our treat) at our central cafeteria, The Nosh
- Experience is for prospective students only, but it is possible for their case manager/counselor/teacher to join the activity
- Expect to stay at UMSL for at least 3 hours
Meet us at Transition Events

Throughout the academic year, we receive invitations to table at various transition events hosted by school districts, disability resource agencies, and external academic and community partners. Check out our calendar and hopefully you can spot our red UMSL OIPE table at your event.
