Since 2011 the Trinity House has been the epicenter of a unique relationship between Bloomsburg University students and adults with disabilities, where as neighbors the two groups regularly socialize in a living and learning environment thatโs possibly the first project of its type in the nation.
As a collaborative endeavor developed by parents, BU and Columbia County Corporation the Trinity Project addressed a critical need for housing and creative support for adults with disabilities. The plan involved the conversion of the former Trinity Church into housing units for adults with disabilities along with student housing in two adjacent homes.
Department of Exceptionality Programs
Bloomsburg University's Department of Exceptionality Programs offers several options for undergraduate and graduate study, including ample opportunities for classroom and field-based study and experiences through partnerships with area schools, intermediate units, organizations, and community events.
Through the College of Education's Conceptual Framework vision, the Department of Exceptionality Programs develops students into transforming educators and interpreters who not only effectively manage constant change but also meet the individualized needs of their future students and adults.
