>and triumphs to date.

>

>The MIDWEST alliance is a consortium of educators, scientists 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 uniquely positioned to facilitate student

>success across a broad range of education levels in STEM by

>connecting institutions, faculty and staff who have substantial individual 

>resources

>and expertise in disability access education.

>

>The MIDWEST senior personnel are working together to transition secondary 

>school

>students with disabilities in STEM, educate post-secondary students with

>disabilities in STEM, and support undergraduate students' entry into graduate

>programs and industry.  By modifying STEM instruction and support services

>for students, transforming training environments and increasing

>the accessibility of classrooms and labs, MIDWEST will significantly alter 

>STEM

>activities in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.
