In addition to providing leadership opportunities, group events give students the chance to meet one another. Group events are routinely publicized through our office. All students who use LDS are actively encouraged to attend these events and to help us coordinate them, too. This group meets with staff members to plan and conduct such LDS events as the Open House, meetings with high school students, and the annual LDS Banquet. These one-time events are usually open to the public and focus on current LD and ADHD topics that are pertinent to college students.
Some students enjoy studying in the quiet carrels in the back of the office, for example.
Other students like to come here to use the computers when they are working on papers. And, occasionally, the staff member you're hoping to see will be available when you stop in, too. Since we want to be ready to focus on your needs when you are here, appointments are usually a fact of life. Graduate students, due to their more extensive academic demands, can meet with their LD Specialist for a total of 100 minutes per week. Within these parameters, you have a lot of flexibility.
