Dear Yasmin Reyazuddin,
I am contacting you in the hopes that you can help identify college-age
students who are legally blind. The National Research and Training
Center on Blindness and Low Vision (NRTC) at Mississippi State
University 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., and seeking employment after graduation. Although finding students
to participate is our greatest need, we are also seeking legally blind
mentors. Do you know of anyone who might meet these qualifications and
would benefit from participating? If you do, please share this
information! For more details, please visit:
http://tiny.cc/mentoring-project or contact Dr. Jamie O'Mally at
nrtc2 at colled.msstate.edu or 1-800-675-7782. Also, please consider
sharing or signing up for our national Participant Registry for
Blindness and Low Vision Research (http://tiny.cc/participant-registry).
We really appreciate your help!
