> Hi, my name is Dave Baldridge. I'm a deafened Ph.D. student at the

> University of Connecticut and I'll be joining the faculty at Rochester

> Institute of Technology next fall. I've sent you this email to ask for

your

> help on my dissertation (I need your help to graduate).

>

> In my experience, underemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing

> people who are deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing. I frequently meet

smart,

> creative, industrious people who are unemployed or have jobs that do not

use

> their full potential.

>

> In fact, over $200 billion is lost each year because people with

> disabilities are underutilized. As a person who is deaf, I know that the

> loss in wages is only the tip of the iceberg. People who are deaf,

deafened

> and hard-of-hearing want and deserve careers that are rewarding and

> fulfilling.

>

> My research examines barriers to full employment and investigates

practices

> that promote equality in the workplace. Here's what you can do to help.

>

> 1) Please take a minute to fill out a very short survey by clicking (or

copy

> & paste) on the website below (takes only 2-3 minutes). Note: People have

> better results using Microsoft Internet Explore and if you use AOL you may

> need to copy and past the address.

> 2) Also, please forward this email to others you know who are deaf,

deafened

> or hard-of-hearing.

> All responses will remain strictly confidential.

>

> As a thank you, I've arranged for the University of Connecticut to sponsor

a

> raffle. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into the raffle

> and the winner will receive a WyndTell pager or a gift certificate for an

> equivalent value (Please note: your completed survey must be received by

> 12/31/2000 in order to be eligible for the raffle).
