> continues to seek students and professionals to participate in a 
> nationwide Employment Mentoring Project that pairs students with legally 
> blind mentors and offers career resources in an effort to improve 
> employment outcomes.  We are looking specifically for students graduating 
> college or  grad school between August 2013 and December 2014. Students 
> graduating before March 2014 should sign up right away to be included in 
> the next group!

> Students must be legally blind, under age 35, living anywhere in the U.S.,
