Introducing: Free Virtual Learning for Life Program
This spring we are launching a new virtual Learning for Life program, free for all UM alumni and friends thanks to the generous sponsorship of our affinity partner, iA Financial.
Spring 2020
Virtual Learning for Life Program
Join us online for weekly lectures from UM experts on a variety of topics. We’ll explore addiction, cannabis use for seniors and emergence and spread of a pandemic in the age of social media. Explore new ideas, hear about innovative research happening right here in Manitoba, and engage in online discussion with your peers.
Lectures will be presented live from 1– 2:30 PM each Wednesday from May 6 – June 24. Recordings will be available after each session on the UM Youtube channel.
