My work entailed conducting intakes with new students, reviewing documentation and determining appropriate academic adjustments. Throughout the semester, I met with students to find out how they were managing their studies and their disability and to see if I could provide any assistance. There were times when students simply wanted to drop by and talk and other times when students truly were in distress and needed guidance. I would evaluate and respond to students in crisis. I communicated with faculty regarding academic adjustments and addressed accessible funiture needs in classrooms. While in this role, I attended meetings with the Academic Advising and Counseling Center (AAC) as well as the MCC Threat Assessment Committee (TABI). Show less
