<p class="MsoPlainText">My name is Amin Makkawy. I am a graduate student at the University of North Carolina Charlotte conducting research on the workplace experience of blind and/or visually impaired employees who work virtually (also known as teleworking
or working remotely). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If you are over 18 years old, identify as visually impaired and/or blind, and have been employed fulltime for the last six months in a position where you telework at least approximately 75% of the time, I want to hear from you! Below
is a link where you can learn more and participate in a short 30 minute survey I have designed. In fact if you participate in this survey by December 24th, you can choose to provide your e-mail address at the end of the survey (this will be disconnected from
