The Disability Resource Center has volunteer opportunities for students and ways to help others. The center, which operates under the Office of the Provost, is aided by many supportive volunteers from the Drake community, said Kathy Kerst, who works at the center as a disability information specialist with the AmeriCorps program.
Students can volunteer by reading textbooks onto tape for vision-impaired students.
Kerst said volunteers for this have included students, faculty, staff and even faculty spouses. Readers schedule one-hour periods of time to come in and read out loud on a cassette tape, she said. They can come in Monday through Friday from 9 a.m - 5 p. m., the center's operating hours. Another way Dudzinski said students help is by supplemental note-taking. When a student is unable to write, the center calls members of the student's classes to find people willing to take notes on duplicate paper.
