[NFB-Idaho] Fwd: [NABS-L] Current and Former STEM Majors Needed for STEM Student Experience Survey

[Donald Winiecki]

Included below is the advertisement and link to the survey I am doing with
the NFB Division on Science & Engineering.

Also, last night in our monthly meeting I failed to mention that I have
worked with the City of Boise to produce braille and large print versions
of their recent Community Access Survey. Alison Steven connected me with
their staff for the project. I have also just completed revisions and edits
on their report from the survey to make it accessible to screen-readers. I
am working with the City of Boise toward putting much more of their
documents into braille and accessible formats.

Best,

_don 😷

NFB Science & Engineering Division Survey of STEM Student Experiences in
Higher Education
Introduction and Informed Consent

If you are or have been a student in a STEM major in higher education, the
Science & Engineering Division of the NFB would like to hear from you!

We have designed a survey to help you tell the Science & Engineering
Division of the National Federation of the Blind about your experiences as
a STEM student in a college or university. We will use this information to
help other students choose the best schools for their studies, and to help
colleges and universities improve their support for students who are blind
or low vision.

Participation is voluntary. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes
or less to complete. You must be at least 18 years old to take this survey.

This study involves no foreseeable serious risks. We ask that you try to
answer all questions. However, if there are any items that make you
uncomfortable or that do not apply to you personally, please leave the
answer blank.

Your responses are anonymous. If you are willing to participate in an
interview about your experiences as a STEM student in higher education you
can add your E-mail address in the last question of this survey. Providing
your name and E-mail address will not make your specific answers to other
questions identifiable.
