Greetings!

Just a reminder that we are currently accepting applications for the 2011 Vision Specialist in Vocational Rehabilitation Program at Mississippi State University.  This program is primarily designed for Rehabilitation Counselors and Rehabilitation Counseling graduate students wanting to specialize in blindness and low vision. We have also had a number of teachers and related professionals go through the program.

Attached is a flyer briefly describing the Vision Specialist program. Details about the program are available at http://www.distance.msstate.edu/vision/index.html .  We hope you will share it with your staff. It is intensive, and it is demanding, but it also has received positive reviews from graduates and state VR directors. Students take 2 graduate courses in the Spring semester and 2 in the summer session.  We have had students from 32 states go through the program to date.  Stipends are available which will cover the full expense of the program, which depending on travel costs is usually between $7,000 and $8,000.  The program does require 3 weeks of residency here at MSU, usually in April, but the majority of the program is on-line.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  We appreciate your support.

Thanks,

BJ
