Thu May 14 17:20:10 UTC 2015

Dear students!

The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE), a project
sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by MIUSA, is
excited to announce its #BlindAbroad campaign, aiming to increase awareness
to the blind and low vision community on the benefits of studying, teaching,
and/or volunteering abroad!

At the same time, we aim to raise awareness to organizations and
universities to support and promote the participation of the blind community
in international educational exchange.

Please click on the link below for ways you can join and promote the
campaign.

abroad.

2)            Reach out to blind organizations to share your story.

3)            Create a disability student group on your campus, and discuss
student needs and            interests, such as studying abroad!
