Subject: [program-l] searching for totally blind cybersecurity specialists

By way of introduction, I am a professor  at Northern Illinois University where I am involved in training individuals to provide educational and rehabilitation services for blind and visually impaired individuals of all ages. My graduate assistant, Lana Russell,  and I are involved in a project in which we are attempting to develop the procedures by which totally blind high school students can prepare to become cybersecurity students in a university program. Thus we are in search of individuals who are currently involved in cybersecurity studies or who are working in the field. I can be reached at
