The RISE To The Top! Inclusive Postsecondary Education Pilot Program located at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) worked with the Mayor of the City of Hattiesburg (where USM is located) to have May 1, 2023 designated as Inclusive Postsecondary Education Day. This is part of a national movement around IPSE day. Text of the proclamation is provided here as an example for other programs who wish to work with local government to have a proclamation for IPSE day in their area.
