Educating for Success Workshop
March 11, 2017 - 8:30am to 4:30pm

By understanding and affirming identities, participants are empowered to make self-fulfilling rather than self-defeating choices. Participants will work in collaborative teams to learn new communication and problem-solving skills and set achievable goals.
