“Better Together” is a college-wide themed week of learning, collaborating, and sharing. It’s a first for Douglas College and expresses the desire to rekindle a sense of community and common mission after two years of physical distance and isolation. 

Programming includes keynote speakers, interactive workshops, panel sessions, radio shows and more. While the conference is an offering  for Douglas College faculty, staff and administrators, the themes discussed will certainly be of  interest to everyone in the post-secondary sector and a few select sessions are open for those who wished to register, based on availability.   See the conference program here: https://facilitatingfacultyonline.opened.ca/2022/03/25/better-together-partners-in-learning/
