For the first time, this is what a Master’s degree looks like.
Today, my daughter #RachelHandlin became the 1st person with #Downsyndrome to earn a graduate degree.
In the world.
Ever.

Rachel is taking photos of other students with Down syndrome from around the world who have graduated from college with an associates or bachelor degree. So far, they have found about 20 and traveled everywhere from London, to Kentucky, to Lima, Peru!https://t.co/YCR7T09jdx pic.twitter.com/yzhqWatx0o
