2. Mary Koeninger Leaves Counselor Position at ODS
Disability Services Counselor, Mary Koeninger, has resigned from her position at ODS to pursue other interests. We are currently in the process of searching for a new counselor. Until her replacement is found, any student who was assigned to her can see any of the remaining counselors (Sean, Caity or Chris). Once a new person is hired, students previously assigned to Mary will be reassigned to the new counselor*(please note, due to disability and other related issues, some students have been permanently reassigned).
3. Please Welcome the New ODS Exam Scheduling Coordinator
Good news!!! We are pleased to announce that the new Exam Scheduling Coordinator will be starting on Monday, January 22. Her name is Ruby Stewart. As you to drop by and pick up your proctor sheets and/or take exams next week, take a few moments to meet Ruby. Within a very short period of time, you will be interacting with her in her new role in ODS.
4. ODS Wants Your Feedback - Online Survey Coming Soon!
Each year, the Office for Disability Services solicits feedback from ODS students via the ODS Online Survey. This survey is designed to give all ODS students the opportunity to rate ODS services and provide ODS with feedback. This input provides us with valuable information to assist us in giving the best services possible. The survey asks for specific feedback on each of our service areas - Alternative Media, ATTC Computer Lab, Counseling, Exam Accommodations, Interpreting/Transcribing and the general ODS environment - there are also items regarding the overall climate here at OSU pertaining to disability. The survey is quick, easy and confidential. We hope that everyone will take a few minutes to give us your feedback when the survey is opened. Stay tuned for the announcement within the next couple of weeks.
