I have a dual switch box with two single pole switches controlling two
different lights in two different areas in a room. With the single
supply, what is the wiring diagram to connect the single source to two
switches. (e.g. wirenut two short black wires to the supply and then
connect the two short pieces to the "off" terminals on the two
switches, connect the black light fixture wires to the respective "on"
terminals on the switches, and wirenut all three white wires
together.)

Thanks

I still say connect the supply to one switch and run a jumper from that
switch to the second switch.

Only if that does not involve putting TWO wires under ONE screw terminal.
