From Mr. Zink: Hello Comets! Today’s theme for AmeriCorps Week is "Team Tuesday." Share what you love about your team and/or the impact your team has made.
It was so fitting that today I got to attend one of our reoccurring Postsecondary Support Team meetings sponsored by our Local College Access Network: Midland Area Career and College Access Network. They bring together key staff at higher education institutions (admissions, financial aid, and career centers,) county college advisors, AmeriCorps college advisers, community stakeholders within various support/resource groups, high school counselors/community education partners, Midland Area Community Foundation staff, and more. We meet to learn about county opportunities/resources for our students, we share events , ideas, and best practices to best support the populations we serve, and we stay up-to-date on relevant topics within postsecondary planning. I love the support and creativity that this group constantly contributes!
Are you part of a team that you wish to highlight? Comment below what you love about your team, or the impact you have.
