Meetings are scheduled weekly with students to evaluate and modify accommodations, train students on assistive technologies as needed, and assist students with traditional academic skills including self-advocacy.

The peer mentor is an experienced student registered within the Office of Disability Services who can assist with procedures and technology training as well as time management, note taking strategies and test taking skills.

Workforce Recruitment Program - The WRP is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the U.S. Department of Defense's Office of Diversity Management & Equal Opportunity (ODMEO) manage the program, which continues to be successful with the participation of many other federal agencies and sub-agencies. Since the program's expansion in 1995, over 6,000 students and recent graduates have received temporary and permanent employment opportunities through the WRP.
