Grantee Resources - Web Seminars
Web Seminars feature a teleconference presentation from an expert from the field of mentoring along with downloadable PowerPoint slides, supplemental reading, and other online materials that enhance the presentation. The archived versions listed here also make an mp3 audio file of the presentation available for downloading, along with the original materials. The MRC will be conducting several of these events a year, and OSDFS mentoring grantees can sign up for future events on the individual seminar pages.
