Hello all,
The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on 
Blindness
and Low Vision at Mississippi State University is researching a 
new
mentoring program for blind college students.  They have invited 
me, as
president of the National Association of Blind Students, to 
assist in
developing the program and in recruiting mentors and mentees.  I
believe that this program will provide an excellent opportunity 
for
blind college students to experience high-quality mentoring, and 
that
the research findings that come from this project can be used to
improve rehabilitation for the blind.  I would also like to see
Federationists get involved with this research.
If you are a blind college junior or senior, or if you are a 
blind
professional interested in mentoring a blind college student, I 
would
appreciate if you could read the attached flyers and consider 
filling
out the eligibility survey.  After filling out the survey, you 
will be
contacted by the MSU research team with more details.
Thank you for your assistance with  this important work.  If you 
have
any questions, feel free to contact me at
nabs.president at gmail.com

Best regards,
Arielle Silverman
