Caroline Jusinich started The Quad in 2023 as an agency that serves adults aged 18-62 who have completed high school or college-based programs and are seeking continued education, social engagement, and life skills training. Jusinich talked about the program with Jan Swift of the Discover Lafayette podcast. You can listen to their conversation here. Jusinich started the program after being recruited to help develop and teach in UL LIFE, an inclusive post-secondary education program for students with intellectual disabilities. The program, which began as a small pilot with local students, has since expanded to 35 students from across the U.S. who live on campus, participate in university classes, and are fully integrated into campus life.
