Movin’ On 2019 Participants

Movin’ On in Montana: An Enhanced E-Mentoring Experience is an initial exposure to post-secondary education with the highest quality transition experience for high school students with disabilities.

It provides a mentoring relationship between high school students with disabilities and current MSUB students who also have a disability, using technology. Mentoring is delivered through monthly meetings, both through video conferencing and face-to-face seminars, as well as through a closed Twitter account. The mentors address student concerns and offer guidance on how to successfully navigate the college experience.

The highlight of Movin’ On is an on campus experience at Montana State University Billings. The participating high school students are encouraged to attend the four day event that will be partially staffed by the MSUB mentors. Students will live in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria, attend classes on the MSUB and City College campuses, and tour three college campuses. Books, fees, tuition, room, and board will be provided at no charge to students accepted into the program.

  • Attend a class on the MSUB Campus.
  • Learn about resources for students.
  • Learn about your rights and responsibilities as a college student with a disability.
  • Participate in fun recreational activities.
  • Talk with college students with disabilities.
  • Participation is limited to 20 high school students, including 2020 graduates, who have a documented disability,
    IEP, or 504 plan.
  • Books, fees, tuition, and meals will be provided at no charge to students accepted into the program.
