COLIN
Colin is a Senior, Sports Studies major at UNH. This is his third year as Student Manager for the Hockey Team. He is responsible for all of their equipment and helping with day to day operations. Colin loves the job and it is a great learning experience as he wants to work in college athletics or coaching when he graduates this year. A high point of the job is traveling with the team to places like Minnesota and the Fleet Center. Colin was formally diagnosed with his learning disability during his Sophomore year at UNH and it was a relief to finally understand his strengths and weaknesses.

USING SERVICES
If I am struggling, I figure out who to see. The huge thing for me is notes. I don’t use a lot of the note-takers because of the availability of power point and blackboard. I go to Access to take tests in a distraction free room away from the classroom. At one point from CFAR, I had two tutors and was working with someone on strategies. Between all those appointments you run ragged. You get worn down. People need to be aware of that. You need to get help but not line up too much.
