Thanks, this is really helpful! Yes, it is tenure-tracked. I start in about 2.5 weeks.
Have a wonderful evening, or more accurately morning!

Hi Christine,
First, congratulations on your job. Is it a tenure track position?
You can hand the leash to the person in front of you. Then, you use the dog, as you normally would, and give the follow command. If your dog knows that command anyway, the leash in the hand of the person in front of you just ensures proper distance and line formation. Practice this with people beforehand, so that when the time comes, the dog knows exactly what to do.
With the cane, you simply put your hand on the person’s shoulder in front of you, and walk being them. So, nothing to it!
All The Best

Hi All,
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...
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.
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!
With very warm regards,
Christine
A soon to be Georgian!
