What is Unified?

Unified combines approximately equal number of Special Olympics Athletes and athletes without intellectual disabilities (called Partners) on sports teams for training and competition.

Unified Partners

"Being a unified partner has been the highlight of my Villanova experience. I was able to try a new sport, make lifelong friends, and learn how to be a good teammate and friend to my peers with disabilities."
