<DIV>Hello friends, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 <STRONG>we are hoping to get all
our candidates lined up by September 1.</STRONG> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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
