Disability Center Honors CIS Professor

An open door policy, which extends to his days off, is one of the reasons why computer information systems Professor Carlos Navarrete was named the Disability Resource Center's Professor of the quarter.

Students with the DRC nominated Cal Poly professors who accepted and accommodated his or her disability more than others.

Camilo Trevino nominated Navarrete because of his dedication and encouragement.

"He came in on his off days to make sure I had the material," said Trevino. "When I was struggling with the math involved, he told me he knew I could do it and that he would help. It's almost unheard of for a teacher to come in on a Saturday."
