I'm proud to announce the debut of the newly updated brass|STUDENT PROGRAM websites. All sites, including the Student Resource Center, the Student Program Home Page, The Teacher Resource Center and the Student Program Sponsor Site have been given a fresh new look. You'll notice that each new site incorporates some new features such as video.

These updates are the result of the New York Credit Union Foundation and Wisconsin Credit Union League's receipt of the National Credit Union Foundation Innovation Grant. The goal of the grant project is to expand and enhance the offerings of the brass|STUDENT PROGRAM.

This new look is just phase one of the website portion of the grant project. Phase two will feature new activities for your students on the Student Resource Center, and additional tools for your classroom.

Although these changes have been made, all features included in the former Teacher Resource Center have remained the same - teachers from New York, Oregon and Wisconsin have access to all areas of the site including all past issues of brass|MAGAZINE with accompanying resources.

Teachers from non-sponsored states still have access to brass|BONUS resources, and can show their interest in the brass|STUDENT PROGRAM by filling out our online interest form.

I hope that you enjoy the new Student Program websites. Please contact us right away to report a problem. And we appreciate any and all feedback!

Special thanks to Joel and Greg from the brass IT Team for all of their hard work on the new websites!
