This award to the Mississippi e-Center at Jackson State University provides support for a CEOSE mini-symposium focused on serving persons with disabilities and will be held at the NSF's Headquarters, Arlington, VA on October 15, 2007. The meeting will serve as a forum to assist CEOSE in the exploration of mechanisms that broaden participation of persons with disabilities in STEM, a population sorely under-represented at all levels of scientific and engineering enterprise. Invited participants will include representatives from the disabled community, including STEM students, and those individuals who have worked with and created programs inclusive and supportive of disabled students and faculty within the STEM disciplines. The symposium will enable CEOSE to identify recommendations for NSF consideration and action. This well-timed conference promises to provide a venue where participants will discuss institutional policies and strategies that are and have been successful at increasing the number of persons with disabilities in STEM.

杰克逊州立大学密西西比电子中心的这一奖项为CEOSE小型研讨会提供了支持，该研讨会将于2007年10月15日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的NSF总部举行，重点是为残疾人服务。这次会议将作为一个论坛，协助CEOSE探索扩大残疾人参与STEM的机制，这一人口在各级科学和工程企业中的代表性严重不足。 受邀与会者将包括来自残疾人社区的代表，包括STEM学生，以及那些与STEM学科内的残疾学生和教师合作并创建包容和支持残疾学生和教师的项目的个人。研讨会将使CEOSE能够确定NSF考虑和行动的建议。这次适时的会议有望提供一个场所，与会者将讨论机构政策和战略，这些政策和战略已经成功地增加了STEM中残疾人的数量。
