Do you attend a two-year or community college (TYC) or have a TYC campus nearby? If so, SPS National is hosting an informational webinar where you will learn how SPS membership can enrich your academic and professional development and how SPS can support your department’s health and culture. Join us live on Wednesday, September 26 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm EST and hear from TYC SPS advisors on the best practices for starting and maintaining a strong SPS chapter on a TYC campus.

This webinar is open to all students, advisors, faculty, and department chairs who currently have an SPS chapter or are interested in starting one. If you’re not at a TYC, but know of a nearby campus, pass this information along! You can attend the live webinar or view the recorded presentation on the SPS website, later. RSVP here by Tuesday, September 25.

The information handbook is available online now. This tool serves as a reference on how to apply for awards and grants, coordinate with other chapters, improve chapter health, and more! A hard-copy of the Information Handbook was recently provided to SPS Advisors in the Fall Mailer.
