There has been a lot of movement. Tomorrow Paul Muton the college’s CFO will be presenting the idea of hiring a disability coordinator at the college’s sr staff mtg. The Center for Teaching and Learning will be having a teaching seminar and simulation next semester as well.

Just in case you haven’t had a chance to check out our page recently these are some of the things we’ve been up to:

Current Issues:

1. Working to provide more services to students with learning disabilities
2. Proposing one day a week where faculty are strongly encouraged to eat in Mather with students
3. Reflecting on use of common hour and schedule changes
4. Establish blackboard “how-to” seminars for freshman
5. Investigate number of 101 Art classes

we are meeting with Deans and faculty to further understand these issues and handle them accordingly. If you have any information or would like to know more about these issues please feel free to drop me an email!

A goal of the mine in relation to my work for Academic Affairs is to encourage the school to hire a learning specialist this semester. I have done a lot of work to focus the attention of the college to this issue during my time here. If you have a learning disability / would like to get involved in advocating for learning services / are interested – please email me to get involved. The more people involved the better!! sophia.simpson@trincoll.edu
