☀️✏️ As the summer transitions to the back-to-school season, we recommend reviewing the ND Quality Standards for OST Programs to help your program start the year off with a growth mindset!

The ND Quality Standards for OST Programs are designed to acknowledge the work you do, help take your program to the next level, and guide discussions on improving program quality. They will provide timely and meaningful feedback on program quality and help you determine program priorities.
