DRC (Disability Resource Center) Electronic Advising Update
June 2007

Welcome!  The DRC Electronic Advising Update is designed to keep you informed of important deadlines and to alert you to programs and resources that may be of interest to you. We will try to keep these publications as brief as possible. We hope that you will find it to be a useful tool to keep your quarter running smoothly.

Important: Will you need tutoring in the fall?

Learning Support Services can start recruiting tutors early if they know for which classes they will be needed. Please send email to drc@ucsc.edu with the name and course number of the classes for which you plan to request tutors in the fall. Thanks to those of you who supplied this information for spring. It really helped LSS to find solid people for your specific upper division science classes. This was a good deal for everyone!

 

 

 

Congratulations to our Graduates!

The time has come for us to say good bye and good luck to our 2007 graduating students. You have worked hard to achieve this major accomplishment and we are very proud of you. The DRC would like to start tracking our graduates…we hope you will inform your service coordinator of your plans. Graduate school? Job? Time off?  We believe that the years you spent here at UCSC will serve you well as you begin you new adventures. Best wishes to each of you from the staff of the DRC.

Borrowed Equipment

Just a reminder that all borrowed equipment must be returned to the DRC by the end of the quarter. Please return your equipment by June 14th at the latest. If equipment is not returned, you will be charged the replacement amount and risk having a hold placed on your record.  

DRC Office Closure Dates

The DRC will be closed June 18th   for our annual DRC planning session, and again on the morning of  June 21st due to a Campus Life Workshop Series presented by the Student Affairs Division. If you need to contact any of our staff, we will be checking our voice mail and email messages periodically during each day of closure. Any phone or email messages will be returned as promptly as possible.

Summer Session Students

If you will need audio format of your texts….please send your book list to Angela as soon as possible. Her email is:  adhollem@ucsc.edu. Thank you.

Slugs with Learning Challenges Speak Out—And YOU??

As a parting contribution, the graduating officers of the student organization recorded their personal stories and their thoughts about what worked well for them and what needs to be changed about the way our campus accommodates students with learning disabilities. Provost Joel Ferguson is willing to assist in pursuing these issues with the other provosts and faculty. For example, podcasts seem to be a great tool for students who need to replay some of the lecture content. If you have more comments, please email them to pechurch@ucsc.edu   And remember….the organization needs new leaders to help Scott Rohlf (current Project Chair) carry on this campus education..

 

Survey for Young Women with Disabilities

Here is a message from the Central Coast Center for Independent Living:

On behalf of the young women participating in CCCIL's youth and young adult Leadership and Advocacy group, the following is a link to an online survey which is designed to assess the interests of young women with disabilities in our community.

Please help us learn from the young women you know and/or work with by encouraging them to complete this survey.  To receive a hard copy of this survey, please contact me directly and I will be sure to get you a paper version. 
 
Responses will be collected until the end of June, (or until we have at least 50 responses).
