Reflecting and Connecting for Lifelong Learning--and Teaching

Friday, January 23, 2009
5:30-8:00pm
Location: Wheatley 4-148
Light refreshments will be provided.

Please join us as we kick off 2009 and the spring semester with our first CCT event!

We'll welcome new and prospective students into the program as we share our thoughts and explore possibilities for the program going forward. As the CCT program has continued to develop options for online participation in courses and events, we will discuss the possibilities and think about our part in the future growth of critical and creative thinking. A number of part-time/online instructors will join us and provide a rare chance for all of us to meet face-to-face and create a more personal connection.

Online participation starting 6:15pm: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/16894
The event can be listened to live at this link using your computer or phone (check the page for phone-in directions). You can also hear the recording afterwards using your computer. Use of headphones to listen is recommended. For more help on listening, see the Audio Tips page.
