Subject: AccessComputing: Internships and Mentoring for Students with Disabilities in Computing Majors

With the new school year underway, it's a great time for students to think about their professional development and their career plans.  AccessComputing<http://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/> would like to invite your students with disabilities who are pursuing computer science or other computing-related majors to join our AccessComputing team. AccessComputing, a National Science Foundation funded project, aims to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers.

Student team members engage in online mentoring, receive professional development support, and are eligible to request funding for internships, travel to conferences, and tutoring.  To join the team, students must complete and submit an application, available online at: http://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/team_app.html

Please forward this to students that you work with. For more information or help with the application, students are encouraged to contact Brianna Blaser at blaser at uw.edu<mailto:blaser at uw.edu>

Best,
Brianna
