Hi,
Thanks for this flier. I think programs like these can be very helpful to 
students and mentors as a way of giving back.

> 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
