9,300 students graduated from CU Boulder yesterday. And while every graduate deserves to celebrate, for some, the journey to a degree has more obstacles than others.
According to a report by the National Center for Learning Disabilities, only around 35 percent of Black students with a learning disability enrolled in a four-year university make it to graduation–that’s compared to about 60 percent of white students with learning disabilities.
Our intern, Kennedy Pickering, was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 11th grade and is among those who graduated last week. A few weeks ago, she called her parents to talk about her struggles and success in graduating from CU.
