Dear
Lolita:
Please
find the attachments pertaining to the supports available to students with
disabilities interested in STEM academic majors and careers. Per our discussion
the gateway activity will be the MIND Alliance Summer Institute to be held
at Hunter College June 15-19, 2009. (See attached vertical flyer). Following
the students' participation in the MIND Alliance Summer Institute, the
student will have access to a comprehensive web site, a mentoring
program, an individualized career assessment, and participation in an
annual science conference (see attached overview). There is no GPA cut-off
to participate in the program. The program seeks students who are motivated to
build upon their potential. An application form is attached to this
e-mail.
Please
don't hesitate to contact me with further questions.I will also bring
additional copies of the materials to give students who may visit your office.
Students may also read an overview and apply online at www.mystem.org
Thank you
for your time and support. I appreciate your willingness to circulate this
material by e-mail to students on your list serve.
Sincerely:
Audrey
