Days become shorter, temperatures drop, and, for adult learners, this can be an especially stressful time in maintaining work-life balance and continuing one’s education. We must remember too that these experiences are highly gendered. Individuals’ gender identity, which is socially constructed as opposed to one’s biological sex, has a significant impact on how someone can access, persist, and succeed in professional and personal development.</p> Fri, 05 Nov 2021 20:49:12 +0000 Carola Weil 11188 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/quelques-degres-de-parente-discussions-sur-la-traduction-328099 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/mcgill/onstage/g.php?MTID=ea04e70c1fcaa8ed3adf0137fb55f84de"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/069-11-20-translation_qdp_fb_2.png" style="height:384px; width:734px" /></a></p> Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:30:51 +0000 maya.michaudthomas@mail.mcgill.ca 10142 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/working-home-how-effectively-manage-your-workday-321719 <p><a href="https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qmEIURDLTVW-oRPgczulFQ" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/047-04-20-pd_workingfromhome-howtoeffectivelymanageyourworkday_workshop_fb_1.png" style="</body" /></a></p> Mon, 20 Apr 2020 15:42:26 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9583 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/student-town-hall-and-orientation-321870 <p><a href="https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJArc-ypqDkqE9JhAOJhCT2GTOfXDcUbaWbV" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/012-04-20-scs-studenttownhallandorientation_online_fb_0.png" style="width:950</body></html>" /></a></p> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 17:10:57 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9599 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/mental-health-and-coping-during-covid-19-321717 <p><a href="https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jaFJzOcfSReQ_NdNA8bK3w" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/043-04-20-pd_mentalhealthandcopingduringcovid-19_workshop_fb_0.png" style="width:950px; </body></html>" /></a></p> Mon, 20 Apr 2020 14:31:33 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9579 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/how-manage-newly-remote-work-team-during-coronavirus-321720 <p><a href="https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HDumtajpSuitNiY_PFs_OA" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/049-04-20-pd_howtomanageanewlyremoteworkteamduringcoronavirus_workshop_fb_0.png" style="</body></html>" /></a></p> Mon, 20 Apr 2020 16:05:04 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9585 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/reporte-quelques-degres-de-parente-discussions-sur-la-traduction-320969 <p><a href="https://scs-discussions.eventbrite.ca" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/francofete2020_v2.jpg" style="width:950px; height:475px" /></a></p> Tue, 03 Mar 2020 18:37:01 +0000 david.kynan@mcgill.ca 9502 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/most-interesting-final-any-class-mcgill-m-x-mm-moisson-montreal Public Relations Event Management, an elective course in the Graduate Diploma in Public Relations and Communications Management program, may have the most interesting “final” of any class at ƻ����Ժ.

This has left increasing numbers of CAs, CPAs, CFAs and other finance and investment pros looking for a way to stand out in the marketplace.
