Deepa, I really like the new web pages for adult students with transition information. I hope you don't mind that I provided a link to it from my web site. I think it is very, very useful.

The National College Transition Network made a strong impression at the Annual COABE Conference in Houston, Texas. Nearly all of the presentations were standing room only. If you were unable to attend COABE this year or if you were unable to find a spot in the room - don't worry all of the presentations have been posted:

If you have any questions or would like to request additional materials, please contact me drao@worlded.org or Cynthia Zafft czafft@worlded.org

Thanks,
Deepa

We recently launched a web site to help adult learners nagivate the process of going to college. Now we are marketing the web site by providing free promotional bookmarks to adult education programs.

http://www.collegeforadults.org

If you work at an adult education program outside of the six New England states and would like bookmarks to give to your students, please let me know.

drao@worlded.org or 617-482-9485 x 522

The bookmarks are FREE and so is shipping.

Thanks,
Deepa

****NEW WEB SITE FOR ADULT STUDENTS*****

We recently launched a web site to help adult learners nagivate the process of going to college.

www.collegeforadults.org will guide first time adults who are ready for college through the process of applying to college and being successful while enrolled.

The website is set up like a college campus, with ‘buildings’ representing the sort of departments and classrooms a student would find on a college campus. Each building contains ‘classes’ to help the student understand the admissions process, find money to pay for tuition, fees, and supplies, and brush up on reading, writing, and math. The student will also find tips to make the whole college experience the best it can be. Of course, it's free!

http://www.collegeforadults.org

Hello Elizabeth:

I would check w/ the college where you will be attending; they should have some sort of list.

Good luck!

nancy
