SUMMARY:SAT Prep Matters
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mary Smyth’s SAT Boot Camp has been used successfully to prepare students to take the SAT for many years. Students practice taking short sections of the test\, and are relaxed and well-rested\, so they are able to absorb the lessons and practice at their best. Using lessons that she writes herself\, Smyth has helped many students through their own hard work improve their SAT scores by 100-200 points.

SUMMARY:Grant Writing Essentials
DESCRIPTION:You have a lot on your plate. Between annual appeals\, communications\, virtual event planning and fundraising\, you’re overwhelmed. And now you’ve been tasked with writing a grant and you don’t know where to start. Our online grant writing program can help! \nThis interactive online professional development program will teach you the basics of seeing a grant through a full cycle—from inception to completion. You’ll learn how to get your organization ready to apply for grants\, where to find funders and funding opportunities\, how to write the components of a grant and how to submit a successful application that has all the information funders want to see. \nUsing case studies\, this program will focus on real-world grant applications. Comprehensive checklists and worksheets will guide you through every step of planning\, researching\, applying to and managing a grant—without missing a thing! You’ll also develop language specific to your organization that answers common grant questions. \nThe only thing you won’t learn in this program is how to celebrate securing a grant proposal. We figure you’ve got that one covered. 🙂 \nVisit our website for more information:\nhttps://dll.umaine.edu/grant-writing/

SUMMARY:Constructive Conversations: The Power of Giving and Receiving Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Many of us have experienced the world of feedback as uncomfortable terrain that we are navigating without a map. So let’s demystify it! In this training we will share a “map” along with skills that can help feedback be useful and supportive whether we are on the giving or the receiving end of the equation. \nRooted in the basics of Nonviolent Communication\, this training will also include concepts introduced in the book Thanks for the Feedback\, by Sheila Heen & Douglas Stone interpreted through the lens of Nonviolent Communication. And we will touch upon concepts shared by neuroscience educator Sarah Peyton that help us understand some of the neurobiology present in feedback conversations. \nConstructive Conversations can increase trust\, collaboration and effectiveness in any workplace or organization. \nVisit our website for more information:\nhttps://dll.umaine.edu/constructive-conversations/

SUMMARY:Food Safety Webinar Series: Environmental Air Treatment
DESCRIPTION:The 91±¬ÁĎ Extension Food Safety Webinar Series is a monthly\, expert-led educational series focused on practical food safety\, regulatory compliance\, and product innovation across the food system. Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations. The series is designed for food producers\, processors\, seafood businesses\, entrepreneurs\, quality assurance staff\, extension educators\, students\, faculty\, regulatory professionals\, and technical specialists\, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training\, compliance systems\, seafood hazards\, product development\, and emerging technologies in food processing. \nFood businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations\, evolving hazards\, and rapid technological change. By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nEnvironmental Air Treatment\nThis webinar will address the importance of air quality control in food processing\, manufacturing\, and storage environments. Attendees will learn about common airborne contaminants such as pathogens\, dust\, allergens\, and volatile organic compounds\, and how they can compromise product safety and shelf life. The session will cover key engineering and operational controls\, including HVAC system design\, filtration technologies (e.g.\, HEPA\, carbon filters)\, and air flow management. We will also discuss regulatory expectations\, monitoring methods\, and how to implement an effective environmental air program to meet standards such as those required for GMP\, FSMA\, and certification audits. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link
