                     AAAS AND IBM ANNOUNCE
               A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING
                      SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES
                FOR UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE
                   STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
                    PURSUING TECHNICAL FIELDS


The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is committed
to strengthening the role of professionals with disabilities in the
advancement of technology for all industries.  In that spirit, we are
participating in a precedent-setting partnership with IBM.  Continually
seeking the brightest minds anywhere, we hope to place qualified students
with disabilities in internships throughout the country.  We want to offer
you opportunities to work with people who are transforming the world using
technologies that won't reach the classroom for years. 

Take Matt King, for example.  When he's not working hard designing database
software for a mobile workstation using computer screen reading equipment and
a braille printer, he is training for paralympic gold.  Backed by IBM,
there's little that stands in Matt's way.  

Think about it.  An internship at IBM can get you where you really want to be
- up close with the hottest industry-advancing projects on the planet. You'll
be amazed at how quickly we'll start applying your skills.  In one summer,
you can get more real-world experience than most students get in four years.  

PROGRAM TIME PERIOD:  Summer, 1997 10-12 weeks

There may be opportunities for successive summer internships and potential
placement upon graduation. 

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
	Majoring in a technical field, i.e.:
	        Computer Science
        	Engineering
        	Mathematics
        	Physical Sciences

Provide us with a copy of your resume, current GPA, and contact information.

IBM is committed to creating a diverse environment and proud to be an equal
opportunity employer.  This program is open to U.S. citizens or nationals;
