 Duet Scholar Profile, Kay. My name is Kay, and I'm a congenital amputee, meaning that I was born with just one arm. So, how was your weekend? My weekend was good. I first got involved with Duet when I was a junior in high school. Duet stands for disabilities, opportunities, internet working, and technology. Duet introduced me to mentors and other students with disabilities. Welcome. So we are talking about... I attended the summer study program run by Duet at the University of Washington. It was a great introduction to UW and part of the reason I decided to attend. I have met many new friends. Duet helped guide me through college and learn about technology to help me succeed in classes. It also helped me develop my leadership skills and prepare me for job hunting. I attended a job fair with one of my Duet mentors and was able to talk with recruiters and prospective employers. In June of 2018, I received my degree from UW in Law, Societies, and Justice and Disability Studies. I want to go to law school and become a disability rights attorney. Duet has helped me realize my full potential. My name is Cheryl Burgstahler, and I direct the Duet Center. Duet stands for Disabilities, Opportunities, Internet Working, and Technology. In 1992, we started the Duet program with funding from the National Science Foundation. And now it's grown to a collection of activities that are sponsored by many groups, including the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Labor, the State of Washington, Microsoft, Boeing, many other funders. All of our projects are centered around increasing the success of people with disabilities in college and careers using technology as an empowering tool.
