The MIND Alliance for Minority Students with Disabilities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics is designed to bring together the expertise and resources of two minority-serving institutions of higher education, Hunter College, City University of New York in New York City, NY and Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA, to increase the quantity and quality of students with disabilities receiving community college and baccalaureate degrees in STEM disciplines and entering the STEM workforce or graduate education. The MIND Alliance is addressing the following objectives:(1) To successfully retain, graduate and transition secondary school students with disabilities for entry into community college and baccalaureate STEM degree programs. (2) To successfully retain, graduate and transition students with disabilities from community college degree programs to STEM baccalaureate programs or the workforce.(3) To successfully retain, graduate and transition students with disabilities from STEM baccalaureate degrees to STEM graduate degrees or the workforce.Student interventions, which emphasize culturally sensitive student experiences and a career assessment and counseling approach, are combined with traditional promising practices: Summer Institute Programs; Tutoring, Mentoring and Role Modeling; High School Counselor and Teacher Workshops; Research Opportunities and Internship Programs; Student Scholarships and an Annual Science Conference.The project is being evaluated by a Dr. Allen Lewis, an Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Counseling at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dissemination will focus on the use of web-based diffusion with an emphasis on sharing the partnering model and culturally sensitive career planning approach with a national post-secondary audience.

少数民族科学、技术、工程和数学残疾学生MIND联盟旨在汇集两所少数民族服务高等教育机构的专业知识和资源，这两所机构是纽约州纽约市的纽约城市大学亨特学院和洛杉矶巴吞鲁日的南方大学，提高获得STEM学科社区学院和学士学位以及进入STEM劳动力队伍或接受研究生教育的残疾学生的数量和质量。 MIND联盟正在实现以下目标：（1）成功地留住、毕业和过渡残疾中学生，使其进入社区学院和STEM学士学位课程。(2)为了成功地保留，毕业和过渡的残疾学生从社区大学学位课程STEM学士学位课程或劳动力。(3)为了成功地留住，毕业和过渡学生从STEM学士学位到STEM研究生学位或劳动力。学生干预措施，强调文化敏感的学生体验和职业评估和咨询方法，与传统的有前途的做法相结合：暑期学院计划;辅导，指导和角色塑造;高中辅导员和教师研讨会;研究机会和实习计划;学生奖学金和年度科学会议。该项目正在由弗吉尼亚联邦大学康复咨询副教授艾伦刘易斯博士进行评估。传播工作将侧重于利用网络传播，重点是与全国中学后受众分享伙伴关系模式和文化上敏感的职业规划方法。
