| Midwestern Alliance in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics |
The Midwest Alliance is a consortium of research educators,
scientists, engineers, and student disability service
providers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison
(UW-Madison), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(UIUC) and the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). MIDWEST is
a new, evolving NSF Regional Alliance, and is building
infrastructure and programs, as well as identifying and
fostering relationships with partners in the multi-state
region. The objectives and activities that have been
identified to meet these goals include (a) Identifying,
targeting, and providing needed transitional services for
secondary and post-secondary education students with
disabilities for successful STEM education and careers, (b)
Providing training and tools for primary, secondary, and
post-secondary teachers and disability services providers to
enhance opportunities for students with disabilities in STEM
education and careers, (c) Improving the likelihood of
independent living and long-term employment success for
post-secondary students with disabilities through support
services and technology.
