Student Disability Services
Julie Scaff
DIRECTOR
Filippi Academic Hall 190
jas37@stmarys-ca.edu
Our office is here to help all students who might identify as having a disability or serious medical condition and we hope students can feel comfortable coming to us for support if they need it. There should be no shame or stigma with asking for help and getting support if you need it.
Success to me is working hard and being dedicated to a goal, while not worrying about what others are doing or benchmarking against other's definition of success. We are all on our own path and success looks different for everyone, the greatest accomplishment I believe is staying on our own path and working towards our best selves, regardless of what others are doing.

SEAS COACH
Filippi Hall
ctm7@stmarys-ca.edu
Success to me is trying something new to see how you like it. It is overcoming the fear that may stop you from experiencing a more exciting life.
Collin Pugh
SEAS COACH
Filippi Hall
cpugh@stmarys-ca.edu
My favorite part of my job is watching students' transformation from their first day of college to walking across the stage at graduation.
To me, success is surrounding yourself with good people, however you define the term, and being able to say at the end of everyday that you had a positive impact on someone in your community.
Judy Selland
SEAS COACH
What should students know about SEAS? Navigating college life - not just coursework - is challenging time in a young person's life and having someone to check-in with/go to for questions or concerns can be comforting.
Success is when I set a goal and achieve that goal. It is when I feel like I have learned and accomplished something I set out to do.
