Kathryn Kennedy:Are you using a VPN, Susan?
Susan Lowes:But didn't she publish a nice short article based on it? and no, not VPN
Kathryn Kennedy:I think so - will send those out after webinar.
Chris Voelker:Is your site coordinator equivalent to a mentor?
Susan Lowes:Absolutely true--an effective SBC is predictive of student success for most students.
Chris Voelker:Right. Thanks!
Rebecca Stimson 2:Michigan mentors are usually not content specific either.
Jeff Elliott:yes, site coordinator is similar to mentor, but it does vary a bit by school
Chris Voelker:OK thanks, Jeff!

Rebecca Stimson 2:We have recently published a guide for mentors:

Susan Lowes:Oh my, I could do fascinating research for the rest of my life with all these ideas!
Susan Lowes:ha ha
Chris Voelker:lol I love it
Melissa Davis - NCVPS 2:OCS provides an alternative path for graduation and students enrolled in
these courses have IEPs
John Englander, VHS 2:Are OCS students enrolled in a different set of courses, or the same courses
but with modifications/accommodations?
Kathryn Kennedy:Great job, Eliz!
John Englander, VHS 2:got it. thanks.
Kathryn Kennedy:Eliz and John, do you have processes that researchers go through to conduct
research for your programs?
Melissa Davis - NCVPS 2:We have separate courses for OCS students but there are multiple courses
such as Biology, English 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..

programs :) http://www.mvlri.org/About-Us/Fellows/MVLRI-Fellows-Program
