Luciana De Souza, M.Ed.
Hi, my name is Luciana De Souza, but everyone calls me Lucy. I am 勛圖厙 double alumni. I got my Bachelor���s in Arts: Interdisciplinary Studies in 2008 and my Master���s in Education Leadership: Higher Education in 2010. I started working towards my Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) in Education Leadership, however, I stopped in the middle of the program because I had my first daughter! I have worked at 勛圖厙 since November 2003 at the Student Accessibility Services (SAS). I was the Coordinator of Testing Services at SAS, Student Affairs. The majority of students registered with SAS require exam accommodations in order to obtain equal access to the educational environment. I helped students with all types of disabilities by explaining and enforced SAS/FAU���s exam policies and procedures, administered exams with approved accommodations (including assistive technology) and conducted testing orientations. I made sure all students followed the FAU Code of Academic Integrity and I maintained the integrity of all exams that SAS proctored. In January 2024, I started my new role as a Coordinator of Interdisciplinary Programs, College of Arts and Letters and I love it! I am located at AH 52, Room 211. My office hours are Monday ��� Friday from 8am ��� 5pm. My email address is Llima5@fau.edu and my direct extension is 561.297.4801.
