    Someone asked me about the recording for this event. I reached out to one of the organizers who shared this information:

    The recording is located on the Shared Drive in the folder DAWG_Adv_Ed_Remediation_Services_Presentation_and_Discussion_5_28_2025

    Anyone should be able to view it, although they may need to request permission to the GDrive.

    As additional  webinars are scheduled, I'll try to share them here.
