Penn State workshop

Penn State has received an EPA grant to conduct a Pesticide Safety Education Workshop for County Agents & Specialists. There are no registration fees and lodging & most meals are covered by the grant. The Workshop will be held at State College, PA from Sunday, September 11, 2005 through Wednesday, September 14. All are invited to attend.
The workshop is modeled after a successful program in the Southern Region, hosted by North Carolina State University. I presented one of our Delaware modules at this Southern program and attended the week's training. It was excellent! The PA program will give Agents & Specialists ideas for working with growers & others in Delaware.
The overall goal of the program is to demonstrate and provide participants with new, interactive, training presentations they can use for their own programming. The NE Center at Penn State will provide training and materials that participants can immediately put to use. Hands-on training activities will be a major thrust of this training program.

Remember, there is no cost to attend the workshop, other than travel to State College and dinner on Sunday and Tuesday. All other meals and lodging are provided.
