As the temperature drops and the snow starts to fall, it’s tempting to spend November locked away indoors. But once you’re on campus, you can avoid the blustery weather by attending these opportunities for learning, entertainment and taking care of your mental health.
Start the month off with a lesson in both history and money. Dr. Robert Weir is presenting a discussion titled Coins and the Archaeologist on November 1, where he explores what we can learn about past civilizations from the change in their pockets.
On November 3, the School of Continuing Education presents a free webinar called Queer Parenting featuring Carla Grant.
Mitchell Art Gallery guest curator Maryna Shcherbenko hosts a conversation about her exhibition, Give Me Tomorrow, on November 3. Attend in-person at Roundhouse’s event space or virtually on Zoom.
Also on November 3, visiting scholar Dr. Olena Moiseyenko of the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy in Ukraine hosts a talk about how war affects research and teaching. The lecture will occur in Room 6-226 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
If you’re looking to check out other programs, or want to help a friend to start their academic journey, MacEwan’s Open House is on November 5. Tour campus locations, and attend information sessions for programs, lectures and panel discussions, athletics events, concerts and musical demonstrations, and labs and exhibits. On November 7, 9 and 10, prospective students can check out an Understanding Admissions information session to learn how to navigate the admissions process. The sessions are virtual, so there’s no need to leave home to attend. If you’re considering changing course to a different program, attend the Changing Programs online information session on November 8. Check out the Education Abroad information session on November 16 and 28 to explore your options for taking your education on the road. The sessions will both be on campus, with the first taking place in the Robbins Health Learning Centre and the second in Allard Hall.
Although there are no classes, campus is still open over the Fall Reading Break from November 7 through 10. On November 11, however, campus will be closed to observe Remembrance Day.
