NUSELI opened the doors for me to build professional relationships with special education leadership colleagues beyond the border of my district and has extended across the state and nation. I have been exposed to outstanding opportunities to learn from experts in the field and have been able to visit schools and see programs that provide excellent services for students with disabilities and their families. Mostly, NUSELI impacted my life by granting me the opportunity to build lifelong relationships and a professional foundation that I will cherish forever.
