Many typically think of continuing education as a means to an end; you learn in order to upskill, reskill, get a new job, or earn a promotion. But it is also so much more. Perhaps most importantly, continuing education is about a sense of belonging.  </p> Wed, 01 Sep 2021 16:39:15 +0000 Carola Weil 10663 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/deans-corner-spring-edi-and-building-healthier-communities <p><em>Joyeux printemps</em>! Happy Spring! This is the season of nature’s rebirth. You do not need to be a nature lover to appreciate the blooming of spring flowers and longer hours of daylight and sun. And while the avid winter sports lovers might lament the disappearance of snow (well, almost), most of us look forward to thinner coats and wearing something other than snow boots.  </p> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 18:00:17 +0000 Dr. Carola Weil 10419 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/straighttalk-courageous-conversations-326326 <p><a href="https://mcgill.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqc--orzwiGNK4xjef57fO3Bme9MSB72CY"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/microsoftteams-image_1.png" style="height:378px; width:734px" /></a></p> Wed, 18 Nov 2020 20:06:04 +0000 nozipho.ndiweni@mcgill.ca 10038 at /continuingstudies
