PEPNet - Midwest: new name, same great project!


The Midwest Center for Postsecondary Outreach (MCPO) is excited to have received another round of federal funding for the next five years. Along with this new funding is a new name, Post Secondary Education Network – Midwest (PEPNet - Midwest), and a new enthusiasm for continuing our mission to address the postsecondary, teaching, continuing and adult education needs of individuals who are deaf.

Our new name is a reflection of PEPNet’s emphasis on national collaboration between the four PEPNet regional centers. PEPNet - Midwest will continue to provide training and technical assistance throughout thirteen Midwestern states, and in addition, will work in conjunction with PEPNet - West, PEPNet - South and PEPNet - Northeast Regional Centers to develop national trainings and products for educational professionals across the country. Take a look at our project at www.PEPNet.org.
