Two documents, an overview and a more in-depth report, examine Queensborough Community College's pre-college orientation program for visually impaired students. The overview, by Patricia J. Evanoski, describes the program's rationale and procedures. The second document focuses on the 1980 summer program, and examines the following program aspects: staff orientation, academic course content, student orientation and mobility efforts, resource workshops (in which students learn about such aids as readers, agencies, and guide dogs), study skills workshops, library/research workshops, psychological workshops ("rap groups") career workshops, parent/family meetings, the educational/recreational program, special seminars, and the residence life program. Additional program features, such as optional scheduling, braille workshops, and workshops on athletics, acting, and typing are reviewed. Extensive appendixes include sample forms and letters and information on sources for books, magazines, and educational materials. (CL)
