YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE YOUR DISABILITY TO ME.... Peter Buck can be contacted in Tech 114 at ext. 258. His e-mail address is: peterb@southwesterncc.edu"

The North Carolina Chapter for Disabilities recommends that instructors be proactive in their attempts to recognize and work with students who have DOCUMENTED disabilities. To benefit the student, to protect you and the college...

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Peter Buck at ext. 258.
