I'm Jean Baker, the Manager of Membership & Outreach at NCGS, and I'll be serving as the group's staff liaison. Headways is hands-down one of my favorite parts of my job here at NCGS. 

I hope that these five conversations - and the relationships you build during and beyond them - will help make what is a challenging school year a bit smoother for each of you.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
