Good afternoon,

Please help disseminate the information below far and wide and direct any
questions or inquiries to Vicktery Sanchez
(<mailto:SanchezV1 at state.gov>SanchezV1 at state.gov).



The Department of State Special Advisor for International Disability Rights,
Judith E. 
Heumann, in conjunction with the Disability and Reasonable Accommodations
Division in the Office of Employee Relations, the Recruitment, Examination,
and Employment Office in the Bureau of Human Resources, and the Office of
Personnel Management, will be hosting a student town hall focusing on career
opportunities for students with disabilities in the U.S. Department of State
and USAID.  Faculty and staff are also invited to attend.  It will be held
on April 11, 2011 at the U.S. Department of State, Harry S. Truman Building,
from 9:30 am - 11:30 am.

This event is being held in support of the President's Executive Order
committed to advancing the employment of individuals with disabilities in
government.  We want to work with your office to promote this event and
outreach to students who are interested in careers at the Department of
State and other federal agencies, including internships.  Students do not
need to be international relations majors, but need to at least have an
interest in the area.  Students, faculty, and staff will leave this event
with a greater understanding of the opportunities available to them at the
State Department and overall throughout the government.  We will have a
panel of employees with disabilities who will speak of their experiences,
along with an opportunity for students to ask questions and network.

We look forward to hearing from you and working with your office on this
event.  For students interested in attending this event, please inform them
that they must RSVP to the contact below, providing the following
information: full name, citizenship, date of birth, passport/driver
license/social security number and state of issuance.  Furthermore, please
be advised that only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment or
internships at the Department of State.

If you have any other questions or comments please do not hesitate to
contact Vicktery Sanchez, at 202-647-9734 or
at:  <mailto:SanchezV1 at state.gov>SanchezV1 at state.gov

Sign language interpretation and CART services will be provided. For any
other reasonable accommodation requests, please contact Vicktery Sanchez as
soon as possible.
