Fostering Success Michigan 3rd Annual Summit

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

FSM's 3rd Annual Statewide Summit is just around the corner! This year's theme is focused on each of us identifying the one thing we can do in our daily work to improve access to higher education for students from foster care. We are busy planning skill-based workshops that will address the issues you have identified as important; from policy to practice, we are working to bring you advice from experts in the field.

When: Friday May 16, 2014 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EDT
Where: Western Michigan University, Fetzer Center -- 2350 Business Court, Kalamazoo, MI 49008

 
We are also planning speakers who will inspire you and give voice to student's experiences. Our student led simulation and student break out session promise a valuable opportunity for students to engage with professionals and supportive adults.
