<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 9th annual Inclusion in Science, Learning a New Direction,
Conference
(ISLAND) on disability is just around the corner! Come learn about
innovative
research that seeks to integrate persons with disabilities into Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study from
researchers
and practitioners in the field. The conference will also include current
professionals from the field that will present Enrichment programs and other
research they are currently engaged in promoting access to technology in the
STEM Education Industry. Network with these Twenty-First Century innovators
who
are promoting inclusion and equity in STEM opportunities.</DIV>
<DIV>The conference will be held on Friday, September 14, and Saturday,
September 15, 2018 at Bowen Hall located on Prospect Drive on the Princeton
University campus in Princeton, New Jersey. The conference will begin on
Friday,
September 14 with a reception that will begin at 6:30 PM. This reception
will be
followed by a keynote address by Michael Hingson who is himself totally
blind.
He will tell his story about how he survived the World Trade Center tragedy
in
2001. His blindness skills and himself being a scientist did pay dividends
in
his successful escape, but the countless others he also helped to get
out.</DIV>
