Monthly Memo

Meet with the Program Coordinator

Hello Class Leaders and Master Trainers!


As we approach the first official day of Spring and recover after "springing forward" last weekend, I hope that this newsletter finds you and yours well.


I am excited to announce that beginning March 20, 2024, I will be holding an office hour via Zoom to support our class leaders, master trainers, and organizational staff with any questions or concerns.


On Wednesdays, from 10-11 a.m. CST, join me via Zoom if you have any questions or concerns that you'd like to talk through.


Please use this Zoom link to meet with me. This link will remain the same every week.


Note: The waiting room feature will be in effect so you can meet confidentially, one-on-one with me during this time. This may result in slight delays.


If that time doesn't work for you, I can always be reached via email (ptcaregivers@iastate.edu). I aim to answer all emails within 24 hours if the message is received during the work week.


Best wishes and safe travels to anyone who may be traveling over Spring Break,



Katie Anthony, Ph.D.

PTC HQ Program Coordinator
