*These modules require auxiliary materials to complete the activity. Presenters are provided a supply of these materials (30 units) on a one-time basis. To acquire these auxiliary materials, please email Diem Tran at [email protected] at least 2 weeks prior to your workshop; we do not do overnight shipping. Please include your home/shipping address and the date of your workshop in your message when requesting materials. If you don't receive an email with a tracking number for your materials, please email Diem promptly; don't wait until a few days before your workshop.
In order to complete the peer-led training session requirement for this course, all participants must complete the linked Google Form each time a session is held (this provides AMS with valuable information about your session). All Project Ocean alumni are also welcome to use this form to report additional sessions to AMS.
For the summer 2023 participant group, after the initial required peer-training sessions are reported and academic credit awarded, individuals may request a transcript reflecting their academic grade from Pennsylvania Western University by calling 847-716-3005 or requesting them online.
