Newsletter
On the last Tuesday of every month, we send out an accessible newsletter to
subscribed members. Each newsletter provides EMPOWER VI program updates,
including new resources, courses, and opportunities; we spotlight our community
partners; and we introduce readers to a single transition topic. For each topic, we
provide a description and summary, with links to relevant resources. At the bottom
of each email, we offer suggested action steps for students, families, and
professionals to take. In addition to our monthly newsletter, we also send a mid-
month special announcement newsletter highlighting partner organization
opportunities for B/LV students, families, and professionals. Anyone is welcome to
sign up for the newsletter through our website (www.empowervi.org).
