This fall, we are offering five Learning on the Way groups. Two (one led by
Teresa Burnett-Cole and one led by Sandra Litt) will focus primarily on
providing a forum for you to connect with other LLWLs for support and assistance
in navigating the challenges of being an LLWL. You will also engage some
important topics. The other three groups (two led by Christine Smaller
and one led by Aaron Miller) will each focus on a particular topic. Lots to
choose from!
