Upcoming WUSC SRP webtrain session

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.
