Dr. J. Ray Bowen, Dean of the College of Engineering, is the Principal Investigator of this National Science Foundation-funded project. The purpose of DO-IT is to recruit disabled students into science, mathematics and engineering academic programs. Mentoring Program College students, professionals and university faculty members work to inspire and facilitate academic and career achievement from disabled high school students.
Most communication is established through electronic mail.
Information Dissemination Materials designed to recruit and retain disabled students into science, mathematics and engineering are being created and distributed. Disability Awareness Presentations for educators increase the awareness of some of the barriers faced by students with disabilities. Practical and creative solutions are an integral part of the sessions. DO-IT efforts will help increase the number of individuals with disabilities who successfully pursue academic studies and careers in sciences, engineering and mathematics. We welcome your comments, suggestions and support.
