Tis the Season to Learn Writing Skills

REACH YOUR APEX
Mid-December Updates
Yesterday, for a brief moment, sleet fell from the sky. While I'm glad it melted quickly and didn't cause any traffic issues, it was nice to see cold weather precipitation. We've had very little notable snow in Lexington for the past two winter seasons. Maybe this year will break the drought?

There's something magical about the quietness of a fresh layer of snow. It's the near-perfect writing conditions.

REACH YOUR APEX UPDATES
We are continuously working to improve and expand the student experience. Sometime in the past month, we finished installing our new learning management system. The new LMS will give our instructors more flexibility in how they structure their workshops but centralizing all the information and resources associated with the course. Students can also access past, current, and future courses via the My Courses feature.

If you ever need a hand with accessing your course or course materials, don't hesitate to email!
