I am writing to remind you about an exciting opportunity for students
with disabilities.   

The Emerging Leaders Summer Internship Program for College Students with
Disabilities offers paid summer internships at many of America's leading
corporations.  These companies are members of the National Business &
Disability Council www.nbdc.com and are proactive in recruiting
qualified people with disabilities.  

To be considered for an internship, a student must be an enrolled
undergraduate or graduate student with a disability, who has completed
at least 60 credits, and is maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA.  More
information can be found on the web site at www.emerging-leaders.com.  

Please note:  The application deadline for 2009 program is December 31,
2008.

In addition, the following is important information about a FREE service
to your students and graduates with disabilities:

The National Business & Disability Council's National Resume Database,
which was developed with the goal of bringing together top talent with
disabilities and America's top employers in both the private and public
sector.  This service is provided free of charge to job seekers with
disabilities and is open to applicants who have earned or are expected
to earn a two or four year degree within the next six months or have
completed equivalent technical training.
