[VABS] Summer 2018 LIFE Mentors

[Ashley Bramlett]

Naim,

Thanks for helping him send it out.

Mark, how about sharing your thoughts about working for VRCB.
Do you get a stipend? Do you live in the dorm and also get to eat in the 
cafeteria or do youlive Ii n the campus apartment and make your own food?
VRCB is our state rehab center.

What were some of your duties and also how many people were in the  Life 
program?
I am just curious about it all. Glad you liked your experience. And, I might 
be at Nova too at annandale.
I'm in classes now as semester began, but don't know if I'll continue with 
my electives.
Feel free to contact me if you want to share experiences, even positive 
ones, about Nova.
Nova's website and electronic resources have a lot to be desired for 
accessibility but there are some good things at Nova too.

So you can contact me off list. Email bookwormahb at earthlink.net.
Thanks.

Ashley
