[Fabs] First day of school

[Jorge Hernandez]

Everyone has posted great suggestions.  

As a student and  an employee for an institution of higher learning  it is
extremely  important that you advocate for yourself.  Do not depend on any
one to speak for you or represent  you at any time.   

I have seen plenty of posts from you Roanna but I have never seen  you
participate on the FABS  monthly meetings.  If you really want to know why
FABS is such an intricate  division of the NFB-FL , and why we are regarded
as the most active, steadfast ,, and most tight knit  division; Come join us
in our upcoming monthly meeting.  

We all have a very tight agenda, but we  all take the time once a month for
an hour to network with our peers, strategize for the FABS yearly events,
and most importantly, support each other with our educational endeavors.  

Best

Greetings,
Everyone has giving you great advice for the first day attendance to any
higher education programs. I usually ask for a syllabus when I first
introduced myself through email if I cannot access it prior. This will give
you a heads up on exactly when and what will be due. However, sometimes they
may or may not have that term completed yet and will give you a copy of
their last semester syllabus. I do agree with Avita learning your Campus
prior to the first day of school will make your life a lot easier. I believe
the president of times will bring this topic to our next meeting, so you
should mark your calendar for August 16 at 6 PM. This is a week away so you
can plan to be there so you can hear everyone's suggestions for the first
day of school. Look forward in seeing you there and talk to you really soon!

to my professors after they have received my accommodation letters.  I
inform them that I just be using a tape record to record their class
lectures.  None of them have had a problem with me doing this.
