Chris Coppess |
 |
Current Position:
My name is Chris Coppess and I am a new employee at the Disability
Resource Services (DRS) Office as of August 21st. For
the last two years I worked at the McBurney Disability Resource
Center on the UW- Madison campus. At McBurney, I worked with
students that had mobility and visual disabilities as an
accommodations specialist. I am excited to work at this university
because it is a smaller campus, and it is an opportunity to work
with students with all types of disabilities.
I am looking forward in all the outdoor
activities that the community and the area provides. I enjoy
running, camping, golf, and I am looking forward in adding biking,
and hiking. I also like to hunt and fish, for me these are great
ways to connect with friends and family. I feel very privileged to
work at this university because I get to work in a career that I
love, and I am close to the great outdoors.
