[nabs-l] campus employment

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,
Who has had a campus job? What did you do and what accomodations were made?

I’m hoping I can be a computer lab assistant.
Any low vision person done that?
I can probably see inappropriate behavior and I can see a community college ID versus something else.

What about other  campus jobs such as serving at the information desk, leading tours, or providing reception coverage?
I know most reception jobs where they schedule student appointments is done via paper; additionally, you have to check student IDS and work with papers. So that job probably cannot be adapted.
I think information desk assistant is doable, so I might look into that.

My thinking is I might be able to do the lab assistant job because I can verbally instruct students what to do. I am not sure I can check them in; I can see the community college ID with its large letters of its nick name but I cannot tell if the id  holder matches the person. The way I might be able to tell this is by scanning their id and if something pops up on screen, I could check that way.

If I cannot work in a computer lab or the writing center lab, another idea is working in our assistive tech lab. That should be doable.

Thanks for any ideas.

Ashley
