-Group counseling
     -There's new adjunct hiring that is happening. As well as group counseling that will help alleviate the bottlenecks.
     -Group counseling is now being scheduled for the months of June, July, and August the hope is that it will take some of those appointments and freeze some appointments as we get closer to right to the beginning of the fall semester
-Translation Services
     -Another concern was being able to serve our students in different languages and what does that look like.
     -Student Services has put a plan forward to expand translation services to all student services by the end of the summer semester
     -We received training on what that will look like. We're collecting information for each of the departments in student services.
     -In three weeks, we have our division meeting with our leaders in student services And then they will get trained. And then sometime in July individual departments will get free Translation services. 
     -The counseling used it this year and it's very easy to use.
     -It takes five to 10 seconds to connect with a translator on the phone or on Zoom Or teams. So we decided to expand it to allocate something for that so we as soon as the fall starts all student services will have access to those services. And the hope is to also expand it to All the other devices.
-Student Services Webpage 
     -Many people were asking - How can employees direct students when they don't know who does what who is who on campus? So, we decided to create a employee facing web page housed inside ARC Insider.
