They offer unlimited opportunities and can never be lost due to their intangible nature.</p> Wed, 01 Mar 2023 20:49:39 +0000 Æ»¹ûÒùÔº School of Continuing Studies 11908 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/recipe-successful-continuing-education <p>When I think of any special holiday, the first thing that comes to my mind is baking and cooking. I recall the smells, the taste, the joys, and frustrations of preparing and eventually tasting new and old recipes, passed down across generations and friends... or the internet. Like those holiday cookies or special dishes, success in continuing education is based on a good recipe. And just like those food recipes, the ingredients for continuing education vary from person to person. Every continuing education recipe is unique – dependent on location, background, and interests of the learner.</p> Wed, 14 Dec 2022 20:44:36 +0000 Carola Weil 11811 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/life-learning-and-giving-back-robert-kouri-98-0 <p>This November, Robert Kouri, first Chairman of the Faculty Advisory Board for the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Centre for Education (now School of Continuing Studies - SCS) and donor of ‘The Joan & Robert Kouri Bursaries for Continuing Studies Students’ turned 98-years old. Let us congratulate him on a rewarding life with hopefully, many more years to come!</p> Tue, 15 Nov 2022 15:53:51 +0000 Æ»¹ûÒùÔº 11774 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/cogeneration-lifelong-learning <p>These have been turbulent times and ones of both change and resilience for all of us. The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with other global factors – from accelerated climate change to war – are still wreaking havoc on this planet. Human society will prevail to be sure, but not without fundamentally rethinking how we live, work, and connect with one another. As climate change has already shown us all too clearly, generations of humans are fundamentally interconnected.</p> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 19:30:17 +0000 Carola Weil 11746 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/back-school-reflections <p>To me this time of year always feels a bit frenzied but also exciting, especially this year with more students returning to in-person learning as we are adapting to living with the COVID-19 pandemic. From my office window I can see the university campus and streets below filling with learners both eager and anxious to start the new academic year. Faculty and instructors are putting the finishing touches on their course outlines and thinking about how to engage their students in new ways.</p> Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:03:23 +0000 Carola Weil 11677 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/building-social-capital-post-covid-world <p>Summer typically is a time of celebration and renewal for many of us. Days are longer, the sun shines more brightly and warmly. Learners at all levels of schooling are bringing another year of studies to a close, celebrating completions and graduations. Congratulations to all those who are marking milestones, big and small!  </p> Tue, 07 Jun 2022 19:19:42 +0000 Carola Weil 11533 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-333047 <p><img alt="Descriptive Image" src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></p> Thu, 02 Sep 2021 16:04:50 +0000 jessica.romera@mcgill.ca 10665 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-333332 <p><img alt="Descriptive Image" src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></p> Wed, 15 Sep 2021 18:06:55 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 10697 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-332214 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/mcgill/onstage/g.php?MTID=ed58c7c946d374eabe15dd6a7a229be1f" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></a></p> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 15:03:23 +0000 maya.michaudthomas@mail.mcgill.ca 10640 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-332212 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/mcgill/onstage/g.php?MTID=eec44ff03abf260d71534c90b1323a7c3" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></a></p> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 15:00:47 +0000 maya.michaudthomas@mail.mcgill.ca 10638 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-331636 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/webappng/sites/mcgill/meeting/info/78eeb751c690425fbacb4356910add45?isPopupRegisterView=true " target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg</body></html>" /></a></p> Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:36:39 +0000 jimmy.ibarra@affiliate.mcgill.ca 10602 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-331631 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/webappng/sites/mcgill/meeting/info/418beb1250a2474cba0171f53cc10069?isPopupRegisterView=true "><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:1</body></html>" /></a></p> Tue, 22 Jun 2021 16:24:25 +0000 maya.michaudthomas@mail.mcgill.ca 10600 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-331367 <p><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></p> Fri, 04 Jun 2021 22:18:24 +0000 jimmy.ibarra@affiliate.mcgill.ca 10529 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/english-language-and-culture-information-session-331368 <p><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/elc_infosession_nov-2020.jpg" style="width:100%; height:100%" /></p> Fri, 04 Jun 2021 22:20:34 +0000 jimmy.ibarra@affiliate.mcgill.ca 10530 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/intensive-french-language-and-culture-program-information-session-324215 <p><a href="https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_b3YCJhE4SSuUmeN6saBY3g"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/034-06-20-lic_iflc_onlineinfosession_fb_1.png" style="width:734px" /></a></p> Wed, 02 Sep 2020 13:49:27 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9897 at /continuingstudies
