The 2026 Nose On Speaker
The Story
ClemsonLIFE® is a postsecondary education program that prepares young adults with intellectual disabilities for competitive employment and independent life through inclusive college experiences, career exploration, and real-world skill building. You’re invited to join us for an engaging and inspiring conversation about the ClemsonLIFE® model and why hiring people with disabilities is so important. Dr. Ryan will highlight how individuals with disabilities bring talent, reliability, and fresh perspectives to the workplace, strengthening teams and driving innovation, while showing how inclusive hiring is not just the right thing to do. It’s a smart, forward-thinking business decision that benefits employers and the entire community.
about the nose!
It all began way back in 1988 when LOGAN came up with the unusual idea of selling green noses to raise money and awareness in support of our mission to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Nobody expected the green nose would become one of our community’s signature traditions! Now, each year, when the calendar turns to March, The Great LOGAN Nose-On officially begins.
