The Canadian Council on Learning is pleased to inform you that the Minerva Lecture Series will soon be visiting Vancouver. The Minerva Lecture Series was created by the Canadian Council on Learning to foster discussion between Canadian learning researchers and citizens from across the country. It is a unique opportunity to understand how research can inform and affect students’ learning and the everyday work of educators across the country. It also offers participants a chance to discover why learning and education are topics that matter to everyone.

On Monday, March 3rd, Dr. Dale Kirby will be giving a free, public talk at 7:30 PM at the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library. The title of his lecture is “Post-Secondary Education 2.0: New Millennium, New Students, New Directions”. We believe his presentation will be appealing to anyone interested in current educational issues. Dr Kirby is a renowned scholar of post-secondary education, an Assistant Professor of education at Memorial University, and a frequent contributor to some of Canada’s top educational policy journals.

We would be grateful for your assistance in circulating this to people you think might be interested.

For additional information on Dr. Kirby’s talk or our series in general, please visit the Minerva Lecture Series page on the Canadian Council on Learning’s website at http://www.ccl-cca.ca/minervaseries.

We hope to see you at our next event.

Sincerely,

Kurt Heinrich
For the Canadian Council on Learning
