Send the WIU Council for Exceptional Children to D.C.

Help WIU students advocate on a national stage.

Your support helps WIU’s Council for Exceptional Children attend the Special Education Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C., where future educators meet with Members of Congress to share real-world insights on the needs of students with exceptionalities.

This experience gives students the opportunity to learn, lead, and advocate for meaningful change while representing WIU at the national level. Support helps cover essential travel and lodging costs, ensuring students can fully participate in this impactful summit.

During the Western Challenge, every gift makes an immediate impact on student learning and advocacy.
