We all have to cope with the snow.....

Getting a grip

Wrinkled fingers seem to be an advantage in wet environments

New Feature Coming Soon

The Associate staff of the Vocational Department have a wealth of experience in supporting young adults in developing important work skills in a variety of settings: the Campus Work Center, the greater RSS Campus, and at community worksites throughout the North Central Connecticut region.  They are the front line of delivering vocational services to RSS students.  I am grateful on a daily basis for the dedication, expertise, ingenuity, creativity and care that they bring to their work with the students.  Most Fridays, there is a Departmental staff meeting to review the week:  new projects, initiatives, concerns, recommendations.  Part of the meeting is always devoted to staff sharing events that have occurred during the week that highlight successes that individual students have experienced.  I would like to begin to have the Associates share with you some of those successes on a regular basis.  So, keep a look out for the first installment of "Vocside Stories".  John Tyner

A big thanks and shout out to

for always being hard working, motivated, willing to try new assignments.... and recently for helping out by volunteering on short notice to fill in for an absent student worker at our new worksite at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield where he shredded documents.  Very cool!
