Research indicates that limited opportunities for informal social interactions between individuals with and without disabilities can impact student graduation rates. Results of a series of focus groups conducted with students with disabilities revealed the Miner Prospector student organization significantly impacted these students' experiences at the university. Specifically, emerging trends were identified in the areas of transition from high school to college, social interactions with peers, establishing an informal leadership network, and developing opportunities for members to provide training, and educating others about their successes and daily struggles. Participants began to feel socially integrated in the fabric of student organizations on campus. These results describe the positive effects that a student organization can have on a typically underserved student population. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Case Study src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of College Student Journal is the property of Project Innovation Austin LLC and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
