<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> Thanks! It is heavily teaching oriented with a 4/4 teaching load
throughout the year. Tenure requires consistent strength in teaching as shown
via evaluations... as well as regular service and professional growth .
They noted that tenure typically takes about 5-6 years to obtain. Although it is
teaching oriented, they do encourage some research and provide some funding,
though I am not certain of the exact specifications. Because I am more heavily
interested in the teaching side, the amount of research space is not yet fully
known. As for reader and other accommodations, I am working those out with
the school at present, though they sound like they are quite willing to offer me
the vast majority of TA-type services I could want. The dept of vision
services is providing me with JAWS, OB, and potentially a BN (hopefully with
GPS), though I am still waiting to hear whether that one will occur.</DIV>
<DIV>Have a wonderful week!</DIV>
<DIV>Christine</DIV>

can hand the leash to the person in front of you. Then, you use the

<DIV>
<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal> I just recently was offered and chose to accept
an assistant professorship position in a small Christian liberal arts
university and was told that I will need to march in a number of ceremonies
such as convocations...<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal> Because I chose, for various reasons not to
attend graduation for my PhD, it has been a really long time since I have
had to march in one of these ceremonies, and the last time I did so, I still
had a little of my vision.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal> My question is therefore, how do those of you without
any vision, and especially those with guide dogs, handle marching? For
example, how do you ensure you keep in line and at the correct pace with the
procession? Do you use sited guide or your dog? Any suggestions,
information, tips, or advice regarding these issues or other issues relating
to marching without vision would be sincerely
appreciated!<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
