Volunteer Note-takers

Are you interested in doing volunteer work while you are attending online classes this fall?   

Volunteer note-takers are needed to share their notes with students who are unable to take notes in their classes for reasons related to a disability or medical condition.  

If your instructor makes a request for a volunteer note-taker in one of your classes, please don’t hesitate to sign up!
