[Eoscstudents] Student Support Services

[slovett at eosc.edu]

As the semester is beginning again, I would like to take the 
opportunity to welcome the students.  Also, I would like to thank the 
faculty for the hard work they have done on our students' behalf, and 
their willingness to work with our offices to ensure student success.

I would like also to clarify for those who are new on campus that we 
are Student Support Services--not Student Services.  I have been 
getting a lot of mail this summer that was meant for Student Services, 
(some of that was for the ADA office), and I have also had several 
phone calls from students and parents who had confused our two offices.

Student Support Services offers academic support in the form of 
tutoring, and yes, we do help with providing accommodations for 
students with disabilities by monitoring tests for those who have 
asked for extended time to take a test and reading those tests.  We 
provide other services as well.  We do not take their disability 
documentation or handle arranging the accommodations, though.  That 
must go through the Student Services Office.  For help with any issue 
concerning student affairs or ADA accommodations, call Dana Lewis at 
ext. 818 or Dr. Sally Davis at ext. 756.

For help with tutoring, cultural enrichment, personal development, or 
just a friendly face to talk to, come to Student Support Services on 
the first floor of Johnston Hall. And if you find your way here and 
discover that you have come to the wrong office, we will help you find 
the right office.

To reach our staff call Cindy Waldrop, Administrative Assistant, ext. 
825; June Haynes, Counselor/Advisor, ext. 822; Kathy Howe, Academic 
Specialist, ext. 860; or me, Sue Lovett, Director, ext 823.

Thanks,
Sue Lovett
