Year One 101 Workshop Series

We’ve organized five workshops to encourage Seniors to start identifying those strategies and tools that will work for them after graduation. Each workshop lasts 90 minutes, and dinner will be provided. Due to the limited space, registration is required for all five. Complete the form on our “Questions?” page to indicate other topics that you would like to see.
