This flyer resembles a doctor's prescription notepad on a background of black, gold, and grey pawprints and signed by the "dogtor." The area normally reserved for patient information has been modified to resemble an invitation with text that reads for: your name, date: 12/10 and 12/11r your name, date 12/10 and 12/11, address: Ablah Library - 1st floor - from 10 am to 12 pm. In the space where a doctor would write the name and dose of a medication that they're prescribing to a patient, it reads: dear hooman's boss: this very good hooman is very stressed. Hooman presribed therapy dogs with DSS & Ablah at the library so they can PAWS & Relax. This "prescription" is signed with a black pawprint over text and a line that reads: The "Dogtor." The logos for TRIO Disability Support Services and WSU Libraries (hosting departments) appear at the bottom of the flyer.

TRIO DSS helps Shockers with disabilities thrive

TRIO Disability Support Services (DSS) is a federally funded program that supports 115 undergrad students with disabilities outside of their classrooms through specialized advising, free individual tutoring, a textbook lending library, study skills workshops and more.

Its academic advisors specialize in supporting students with disabilities and offer a “design it yourself” approach to advising – whether it be academic, career or personal. One of its favorite things to talk with students about is scholarships – the ones DSS offers to students enrolled in its program and the ones open to everybody. Since August 2023, its students have collectively been awarded over $27,000 in scholarships.

DSS offers free individual tutoring and takes great care in pairing students with tutors based on a variety of things, like personality, availability, learning needs and knowledge level. Tutoring is held in-person (on campus only) or virtually. DSS is accepting new students but space is limited.

Students interested in learning more about how TRIO DSS can support them can email trio.dss@wichita.edu. Students who are ready to apply can download the application, complete it and email it to trio.dss@wichita.edu or visit the Shocker Success Center, room 223.
