In 2011 NCAA Division III partnered with Special Olympics. The purpose of the partnership is to improve the lives of Special Olympics athletes through their involvement with Division III student-athletes and to foster a mutual learning experience between Division III student-athletes and Special Olympics athletes. Through this partnership, Division III student-athletes across the country will be encouraged to participate in existing Special Olympics events, create their own events, or otherwise serve to support Special Olympics organization.
The MIAC is encouraging Student-Athlete Advisory Committees at the institutional level to partner with Special Olympics. The following is helpful information about Special Olympics and its partnership with Division III Athletics.
