Think by the Bay is an inclusive post-secondary education program at Cal State East Bay
Think by the Bay launched in August 2023 to welcome, include, and support students with intellectual disability at Cal State East Bay. Think by the Bay is a project of the Center for Disability Justice Research and Professional and Continuing Education. Check out this 2023 article on the program in the Cal State East Bay news.
We are very pleased to share that we were recently selected for a federal grant that is allowing us to expand! With our new grant, we will be able to admit more students, extend the program to four years, offer a residential option, and provide more support to students. We will be posting updated materials on this site as we make these exciting program changes. Please check back often!
