Wyoming EPSCOR Disability Awareness
        
     
    
        
    
    
        Project Description:
        WIND is currently collaborating with Wyomings Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) on their initiative to recruit more students with disabilities into the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields; to increase awareness of disability issues among students, faculty, and staff; and to increase accessibility and access awareness among their affiliated colleagues. We are excited to work on this initiative because a major component of the EPSCoR grant is directed toward recruitment of women and people with disabilities into the STEM fields. We will continue to partner with EPSCoR over the five year span of this grant, and we look forward to working with them to enhance disability advocacy at UW.
