Greetings APS Participants and Friends! 

The August newsletter is now available (attached and online). Our team at the Academy wanted to call your attention to a special webinar we are offering (Thursday, August 9 at 11:00 am) to give you a guided tour of the new Academy of Peer Services. Many changes are coming to the way you will use the APS system. These changes are both exciting and very different than they were in the past. Understanding how to register, access the courses, use the new dashboard, and navigate to your certificates of completion by attending this live webinar can save time later when you start or resume courses in the Fall term, which opens on August 27.
