Summer Start workshops

During the summer of 2003, CCW members facilitated 4 presentations for 120 Summer Start (a program held during the summer for first year students to get a head start on classes) students to discuss safety information and services available on campus to Summer Start students. Each student received a bookmark with safety tips and emergency services contact information.

CCW was scheduled for 4 sessions, with each one having a full turnout. CCW members collected evaluations on the workshops, and the general comments indicated students were thankful for the information. Many of them commented they did not know about several services before attending the workshop (blue-light emergency phones was the most popular topic as far as questions). The Director of the Summer Start program was pleased with the program (especially the peer-to-peer education) and has invited CCW members to facilitate the program again this summer. Summer Start funded the costs for the bookmarks that were distributed.
