[nabs-l] Mentoring Program for Blind Students

[Arielle Silverman]

Dear students,
The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on blindness at
Mississippi State University is  developing and studying a mentoring
program for blind college and graduate students. They are looking for
more students to participate  who are graduating from college or grad
school between April 2012 and December 2014. Students will be matched
with blind professionals working in their field of interest. You will
have opportunities to meet face-to-face with your mentor and do job
shadowing and other career building activities over a one-year period.
You will also be asked to fill out some short surveys throughout the
mentoring period and after you graduate, to assess whether the
mentoring helps you to achieve your employment goals.
Please check out the attached flyer and fill out the eligibility
survey if interested. They are also looking for mentors, so if you are
a blind professional or recently retired, please consider applying.
Best,
Arielle Silverman, Consultant to the RRTC
