     Additional information from South Seattle Community College that may be helpful to other TRIO staff developers include a book, video, brochure, subscriptions and a quarterly newsletter and other TRIO Programs. Thanks to Maureen Shadair and her staff for sharing these resources!

• College course & book: HDC 101: College Success (3 credit class designed to help SSS students; credits are transferable) uses the text Making Your Mark, (LDF Publishing, ISBN 0-9696427-6-8. ) It includes many practical sections on time management, study hints and shortcuts, and managing college life—all of which we cover in the HDC class and work on with students in the tutoring center.

• Good video: Another resource that we have used in our College Success class that has been very effective is the video: Skin Deep (1999) depicts college students discussing issues of race, racism and culture as a first step in acting to undo racism. Comes with a discussion guide and questions; $19.95 from 
  Amazon. com.
