To my mind, foremost among its contributions is the idea, developed duringthe 1990s, that that which a culture treats as physical or mental capacity derives from socialvalues and conditions. This “social model” of disability to a degree displaced

Much of these expenses were dedicated towards personnel costs to developrobotic simulation software, create curriculum, and design the articulation agreement betweenthe two institutions. Money was also reserved for stipends to be paid to workshop participants,travel to conferences and meetings, and instructor professional development.

This suggests that it is possible that students with lowPersonal Interest scores become involved in more student organizations. BACKGROUND 3.1.Participation in Extracurricular Activities One of the most common ways for students to become engaged in their campuscommunity is to participate in ECAs. Research has demonstrated the impact of participation inthese activities on education, offering consistent and strong support for the value of studentorganizations to both student and the universities that sponsor them (see Figure 1) [10, 11, 13-24].
