Ever Scholar, a new program offered by the Professional Studies Unit at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Faculty of Education, opens up learning opportunities for retirees and seniors in the Kingston area.

Ever Scholar is an open-enrollment course series for anyone in the Kingston and surrounding area. Designed as a lifelong-learning program, Ever Scholar provides opportunities to explore topics in the arts, science, and the humanities.

The program got its start when Jessica Della-Latta, Executive Director of Professional and Non-Credit Programs at the Faculty of Education, took part in the Foundational Leadership course offered by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Human Resources. She had just received an enquiry regarding Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s offerings for third-age learners. The enquiry was for something more than a lecture but not as intensive as a course for credit. To set the program up for success, Della-Latta카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Foundational Leadership project team polled Kingston community members and alumni and met with potential partners such as ESU, community organizations, and senior administrators at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.

They discovered that while programming for third-age learners is abundant in the Kingston area through local community groups, none specifically met the immersive course experience that many retirees and seniors were looking for. Seeing a win-win opportunity, Della-Latta and her project team moved the project forward.

Meeting with all stakeholder groups including Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Institute for Lifelong Learning (QUILL), Later Life Learning, Kingston Seniors Centre, Retirees Association of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s (RAQ), and the Enrichment Studies Unit confirmed the need. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I met with all those groups because I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t want to redo what was already being done well. I wanted to identify the gap and fill it. I wanted this to be a collaboration,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Della-Latta says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�So we formed an advisory board with members from each of those groups to help shape and guide 카지노 게임 컬렉션� they came up with the name Ever Scholar 카지노 게임 컬렉션� what our focus and subject areas will be.  It is an important collaboration.  We all cross-promote our programs in the spirit of learning for all.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The Faculty of Education was a natural place for such a program.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�As educators, we believe that education continues beyond formal schooling. Ever Scholar is an opportunity for us to share our wealth of knowledge and research with the community and offer accessible lifelong learning opportunities for everyone카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Rebecca Luce-Kapler, Dean of the Faculty of Education.

The first six-week course, entitled First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Studies, started on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and is hosted primarily at Duncan McArthur Hall, along with field trips to locations such as the Elbow Lake Environmental Education Centre.

The courses are being developed by graduate students from the Faculty of Education.

The programming is also being developed with cost-effectiveness in mind, not only for the university but for the students as well. For example, parking is covered by the registration fee.

Another key for Ever Scholar, points out Nathan Cheney, Business Developer in the Professional Studies Office, is building positive relationships between the university and the community. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We wanted to try and remove as many barriers for people as possible while maintaining the quality of learning that we are proud to offer at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트," he says. "One of the things that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s focuses on is the community aspect and the community experience of the campus. We decided to host this on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s campus so learners experience all Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s has to offer."

The second course, which will focus on health sciences, will be offered in May.

If you have an idea for an Ever Scholar course, Della-Latta is open to suggestions from all faculties.
