Subject: [nabs] Fwd: Fwd: Mentoring and Internships for Computing Students
with Disabilities

Here's a paid internship opportunity for students who are studying in a 
computer-related area.  Thought I'd pass it along.


PAID INTERNSHIPS and MENTORING for students with disabilities pursuing
computing!  Grant funded with no cost to students!

With the new school year underway, it's a great time for students to think
about their professional development and their career plans.
  AccessComputing would like to invite your students who are pursuing
computer science or other computing-related majors with disabilities to join
our AccessComputing team.  AccessComputing, led by the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington and DO-IT
(Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) and funded by
the National Science Foundation, aims to increase the participation of
people with disabilities in computing careers.  

Student team members engage in online MENTORING and are eligible for help
with PAID COMPUTING INTERNSHIPS.  To join the team, students must complete
and submit an application, available online
at:http://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/team_app.html

For more information or help with the application, students are encouraged
to contact Brianna Blaser atblaser at uw.edu     

Best,
Brianna
