What topics are you interested in that we haven’t discussed yet? Last year we talked about IOS devices with a hands on workshop, we discovered how accessible chemistry can be to the blind, we heard from assistive technology giants like Humanware and Serotek, we heard about what careers are rapidly growing from the Texas Workforce Commission, and much much more. However, we can’t always think of it all, we need your help. Let us know what presentations you want to see for the 2013 seminar.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just reply to this message, and lets discuss here on our list how we can make your student seminar better!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I look forward to the ideas and the discussion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>...Gabe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Gabriel M.
