MERRILL LYNCH, PEPSICO, GOLDMAN SACHS and GOOGLE

RECRUITING MIT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

~Lime event hosted on Tuesday, October 7, 2008~

 

NEW YORK, NY - Sept. 25, 2008 - Merrill Lynch, Pepsi Co, Goldman Sachs and
Google are recruiting Massachusetts Institute of Technology undergraduate,
graduate and doctoral students with disabilities for a broad range of 2009
summer internships and full time positions. Hosted by New York-based not for
profit Lime Connect (Lime) for their corporate partners, the events will be
held on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at The Hyatt Regency Boston (One Avenue de
Lafayette - at the Red Line Downtown Crossing stop, and one block from the
Red and Green Lines Park Street stop) from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.  (Registration
begins at 5:30 pm.)   For more detail, and to register/RSVP, see
www.limeconnect.com/upcoming-events.html.  

 

Nationally, more than one in ten students on campus has a disability, and
the majority of disabilities are "invisible."   With the understanding that
students with disabilities represent an untapped source of intellectual
capital, Lime's partners fully value the talent that they bring to the
corporate work force, and are seeking to hire.  For them, partnering with
Lime is all about "being smart," not about "being nice."

"Lime is not your 'typical disability group,'" founder Rich Donovan said.
"We represent a fresh approach in the disability/business space, and we're
here to introduce students with disabilities to opportunities for great
careers at best-in-class companies.  And we do it all with a bit of an
edge."

Lime was founded in 2006 by Donovan, a Columbia MBA and former proprietary
trader for Merrill Lynch in New York who happens to have cerebral palsy, to
directly connect talented people with disabilities and global corporations
for employment opportunities.  Longer term, the organization and its
partners are developing a global corporate standard to effectively and
efficiently source, recruit, develop and market to people with disabilities.

Lime's recruitment event for students with disabilities is co-hosted by MIT
Careers Office.
