Welcome to my College Transition Page!  This Web supports this summer's College Transition Class for UW-Whitewater's Project ASSIST.  We work with students that have earned admission to UW-Whitewater, but have special needs.  Class is designed to help students get a "head-start" on their freshman year.  

Part of this summer session  is conducted by UW-W Professor, Dr. Einerson.  He has another class syllabus and agenda for our students.  This Web is designed to support those sections of the 2005 Summer Transition Program that I, Mr. Breitsprecher, am responsible for.  Do you have any question, comments, or ideas you would like to share or collaborate on?  I would love to hear from you at webmaster@clubtnt.org. 

I have created this Web to structure the curriculum, organize the information,  and provide access to the all class materials.  Getting off to a good start is important; we hope that knowing these resources are only a "point-and-click" away will provide comfort and support for this year's freshman class at UW-Whitewater.   Class handouts, notes, PowerPoint presentations, and online resourses are all here.
