NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - An ECPI University graduate returned to her alma mater Wednesday to present a check for $10,000, as a way to say thank you from a gesture made a decade ago.
Michelle Tinner walked the halls of ECPI in 2012. She was studying to become a registered nurse, working, and taking care of her mother who has dementia. At one point, she thought her education would have to be put on hold.
Kudos to ECPI University's Roanoke campus for its participation with No Bounds, a local organization that promotes inclusivity and provides opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, in the Unified Championship Week. The Unified Championship Week is an event organized by Special Olympics, bringing together athletes with and without disabilities to compete in various sports and celebrate their achievements. No Bounds' involvement in the event highlights their commitment to fostering inclusive and empowering environments for athletes of all abilities.
