“We wanted to make our Services more welcoming for our campus community,” Rosas said. “Ultimately, all DSPS offices provide Academic Accommodations, so we found it fitting to make the name change.”

Ironically, despite the name change now in effect, Rosas said the Academic Accommodations building still has the old sign with the old name.

“We are in discussion about getting new signage for our building

“Our Director, Carlos Rosas, did a lot of research and advocating for this name change and we could not have done it without him and the support of our Dean, William Marmolejo, and our VPSS, Jason Cifra,” Marks said. “The new name is used at many other community colleges and four-year universities which creates a sense of unity.”

Interpreter Coordinator Cindy Julian was also a fan of the name change.

“Our DSPS office has been called Special Services since the 1970s,” Julian said. “I do like the name change. It clearly describes what our office does, which is provide academic accommodations for students who need them.” jkuklin.roundupnews@gmail.com
