Eligibility
All UM students are welcome to attend the Student Training Series workshops. 

Audience
Some target audiences for our workshops might include: 

• Student staff in Student Affairs roles,
• Student staff who work on campus in front-facing or peer support roles,
• Student groups or clubs,
• Individual students who are looking to develop skills and competencies in the given topic.

What to expect during workshops
Our workshops are developmental in nature, and are designed to help students explore and strengthen their skills. As such, our workshops usually require that attendees participate actively and engage with their peers/facilitator(s). The more that participants are willing to challenge themselves, the more they will get out of the material.
