Upcoming WUSC SRP webtrain session
March 22, 2008 by TrentWUSC-IT · Leave a Comment
The following comes to us from WUSC.ca:
In our last webtrain session we reviewed the next steps in the sponsorship process. It is now time to start planning for the end of this year’s and the beginning next year’s sponsorship.
Often the transition to the end of sponsorship is not seen as a priority for many committees. Before everyone leaves for the summer break WUSC is offering an online training session to discuss concrete ways to support your current sponsored student in their transition to independence. We will also be reviewing essential topics which should be covered in the orientation for sponsored students.
This online training session is designed especially for new Local Committees, or those who have experienced significant turnover and have new members coordinating the sponsorship(s).
The session will address such things as:
- Transition and post-sponsorship (April to September)
- Preparing and delivering an orientation
- Arrival (including late arrival)
- Discussing expectations
The workshop will be held in English only on Thursday, March 27th at 1:00PM EST. The session will last approximately one hour, although we ask participants to login 10 minutes before the workshop starts.
The deadline for RSVPs is Tuesday, March 25th if you wish to participate.
Please contact the secretary for more details on what you need to include in the RSVP and to whom you need to send it.
Thanks to those who helped with the Symposium

The Chair, Secretary, Committee Coordinators and the entire WUSC at Trent University Local Committee would like to thank Michel Tapiero for being our speaker during the World Water Day Symposium and also all those who helped out in some way to make the event possible, including those who just attended. Good work, everyone!
Special thanks also go out to Dan McRoberts and Paul McCarney who pioneered the idea of the event and were also responsible for most of the organization.
The Trent Arthur has published an article covering WUSC’s part in addressing the water problem in Peru. Make sure that you check it out!
