Hello friends, 
 
Just a reminder again that here at Mississippi State University  we are 
initiating an exciting new opportunity for recent high school  and college 
graduates and seniors who are blind or have low vision  to be involved in an 
on-line intervention to enhance their  employability.  We are recruiting almost 
100 students from all over the  country who will be involved for 8 weeks of 
supplemental activity in  either September - November or January-February.  
Students will  be randomly assigned to a group, so we are hoping to get all 
our  candidates lined up by September 1.  The purpose of the program  is 
two-fold.  First, we are hoping it will be beneficial to the  participants in 
preparing them to find employment, but it is also a research  project to 
develop evidenced based practice which we hope will be replicable  and 
available nationwide.
 
Attached are 2 email flyers about the program, one for college  students 
and one for both high school and college students.  We can send  braille and 
large print as well if anyone is interested.  Please post  this on your 
office bulletin boards and help pass the word to interested  students.  Students 
can sign up on line through our website at _www.blind.msstate.edu_ 
(http://www.blind.msstate.edu/)  .  Please contact me  if you have any questions.  
 
Thanks for your help!
