WPN Webinar — Introducing the DSS Resource Toolkit: A Comprehensive Guide for College Staff
September 23 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Join us for an exciting webinar about a new resource for Passport Designated Support Staff (DSS)! With guidance from the Passport Leadership Team, College Success Foundation and Washington Student Achievement Council spent the past year developing a comprehensive toolkit for college staff either new to the Passport program or seeking clarification on programming procedures. The DSS Resource Toolkit aims to strengthen transition efforts for college staff and bridge gaps in information to bolster support for the DSS role and the college services that can be provided for Passport students.
At this webinar, attendees will be able to learn:
- How to find information in the toolkit
- An overview of each chapter and its contents
- Live demonstration on how you can utilize this resource
This webinar will be presented by CSF program manager Laura Lydia and WSAC program coordinator Stacia Schienbein.
