HRD-0428284Dr. Richard Ladner is Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Washington; the nomination indicates that he has been active in mentoring since 1985. Ladner has pioneered improved computer networking for the deaf-blind using large print and paperless Braille displays. He spends a week each year working with the University of Washington's DO-IT program, and has done so since 1994. He presently advises a blind computer science PhD student, and three of his 15 PhD graduates are women. The panel noted that Ladner is one of the few PAESMEM nominees who works closely with students who have disabilities. Dr. Ladner is also supportive of undergraduate students. He has attended all of the undergraduate research talks for the CSE Undergraduate Research seminar since 1999.He has also mentored women at many levels (undergraduate, graduate, post-doc, and faculty) and worked with students with disabilities (high school and graduate students). Ladner supports the WISE group; he encourages women to seek balance between personal and professional life, and provides direct mentoring via informal discussions. He is also a co-chair for the Abused Deaf Women's Advocacy Services (ADWAS) steering committee. Dr. Ladner's mentoring clearly extends beyond the walls of the University of Washington in his efforts to increase the number of students with disabilities who will pursue graduate degrees.

HRD-0428284Dr. Richard拉德纳是华盛顿大学计算机科学与工程教授;这一提名表明他自1985年以来一直积极从事导师工作。拉德纳率先改进了计算机网络的盲人使用大打印和无纸化盲文显示。自1994年以来，他每年都会花一周的时间与华盛顿大学的DO-IT项目合作。他目前为一名盲人计算机科学博士生提供咨询，他的15名博士毕业生中有3名是女性。小组注意到，拉德纳是为数不多的与残疾学生密切合作的PAESMEM提名者之一。拉德纳博士也支持本科生。自1999年以来，他参加了CSE本科生研究研讨会的所有本科生研究会谈。他还指导了许多级别的女性（本科生，研究生，博士后和教师），并与残疾学生（高中和研究生）一起工作。拉德纳支持WISE小组;他鼓励女性在个人生活和职业生活之间寻求平衡，并通过非正式讨论提供直接指导。他也是受虐待聋人妇女倡导服务（ADWAS）指导委员会的联合主席。拉德纳博士的指导显然超出了华盛顿大学的墙壁，他努力增加残疾学生谁将攻读研究生学位的数量。
