During the two-week Access Learn Progress Succeed (A.L.P.S) academy, students will learn skills essential for college success including time management, how to advocate and how to identify assistive technology that best meets their needs.
“Often, students have to navigate the college environment in addition to finding services that will benefit them and help them reach degree completion and this is sometimes difficult for this population,” said Lataria Hall, Associate Dean of Categorical Programs. “ALPS will increase access to college, reduce barriers once they get here, create a successful transition plan, and increase their opportunity to succeed while being a student.”
The cost for attendance is free and lunch will be provided. There are only 20 spots available and the deadline to register is June 30th. All students participating will receive a SMART Pen. They will also learn what the WHCL Educational Access and Learning Support program can do for them as a student.
