In October, Westcliff University, in partnership with Inclusive Sports Foundation, will host the third Inclusive Sports Day, an athletic, carnival-style event for local students with disabilities. Westcliff, staff, faculty, and student athletes will run interactive stations, leading the students through a variety of games and sports in an inclusive, fun, and engaging environment.
