What's been really interesting to me is at talks that I've given, parents have said, well, if I call your office, Elizabeth, won't they pick up the phone when I get off and call admissions?
It breaks my heart that this is something that parents are worried about.
When I say I can't blame them, what I mean is that I think that some people have had experiences with others who are not very evolved in their thinking.
But I can assure your listeners that that
I almost never say never in my talks, but I will say that never happens.
I'm going to stand on that one for you.
Nobody is going to call admissions and say, oh, you know, Elizabeth Hamlet's mother called.
You know, you might want to put her on a list.
That is not happening.
Oh, sure.
I'm based out of Princeton, New Jersey, but I work part time at Columbia University's Disability Services office.
And when I'm in the office, I am meeting one on one with students, which is my favorite part of my job, working on anything they really want to do.
But I will honestly say a lot of it is time management, reading comprehension strategies, some organization stuff.
And often writing when students bring that to me.
The rest of my time spent for Columbia is in reviewing students' requests for accommodation.
So I read more than 100 reports a year for them in that capacity.
And we have this two-step process where myself and my colleagues, you know, read the documentation, look at what the students asked for, say what we recommend.
And then it's approved or not or, you know, modified by a director.
So that's the other part.
And in the days that I'm not doing my Columbia work, I am writing or traveling the country, presenting about this topic of how to prepare students for a successful college transition.
