The NMU Best Buddies student organization will host a walk to promote inclusion of and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities on campus. The Best Buddies Friendship walk at NMU will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 29. Participants will meet near the “heart of Northern” on the academic mall outside Jamrich Hall.
Best Buddies is an international program dedicated to one-to-one friendships, leadership development and integrated employment opportunities for individuals with IDD. NMU’s satellite walk will coincide with the main event in Ann Arbor, which is designed to raise awareness and funds for the program.
