Online Professional Learning
Join us at SURN this summer for online, asynchronous professional learning!
We invite you to learn and grow with us this summer through SURN's online professional learning series. Each course in our summer series is organized into five modules (one per week) with opportunities to explore relevant topics and apply what you’re learning to your own context.
You can expect to spend 4-6 flexible hours online each week, engaging in activities that help build your foundational understanding and your repertoire of practical strategies and skills. Those who complete the course will receive a certificate for 30 hours of professional learning at William & Mary, and the non-credit bearing course will be posted to their William & Mary transcript.
