Hello USMF! We are a few students from Santa Clara University that want to do our best to help out. We have come up with a few modules, think of them as online classes. Please read through and click the blue links as you go along. They are vital skills that we hope will help! (It won't take too long, either). We will be sending a feedback form to see if our resources have helped soon. Please go through at least one module by Sunday, August 23rd. Thank you, we hope this helps and can’t wait to hear back from you!
