I train and raise quarter horses. During this kind of weather, it's fabulous and then during the fall, when its crisp and you're riding through the hills, there is nothing better." / / I am a single-person office, but what I try to do is make sure the campus is accessible • to students with physical disabilities that’s physical as well as academic and social. There are 85 different disabilities that are representing here and over 200 students who are registered. The largest group is from ADHD, but we have students who have heart murmurs, asthma - you name it. Depending on what the requirements the students have, I look at the documentation they bring and help get in place what they need, such as a standard time on an exam, retrofitting a dormitory room, accommodating a wheelchair, or putting up a sign or enlarging lettering for the visually impaired. It’s to have the campus to be accessible for the student. It’s not an easy job. It really involves a lot of multitasking. It may take about 20 calls to make things happen. It requires a lot of activity and a lot of it is behind the scenes. But it really is rewarding. 1 here could not be a better job. I become like the surrogate mother to students and they become my children, so I am proud. I’m proud of all the stu dents. When I come in and see 500 to 700 young men in the graduating class, I’m proud. It s just so moving. It s very rewarding because we see people of the same hue moving for ward. I even march at the graduation because I want the students to know that I am a part of that, too. I try to be interwoven with the entire fabric of campus.
