Everyone Welcome to Attend Weekend Workshops at Loyalist College Alumni Association Homecoming – June 13 and 14, 2008
The Loyalist College Alumni Association would like to invite the community to join them for the exciting lineup of Saturday workshops planned as part of the upcoming Homecoming celebration on June 14th. Faculty and staff will be offering a selection of interesting and relevant subject sessions during the morning and afternoon.
On Saturday morning, workshop choices include Managing Your Career with Lyndsay Kerik, Employment Services. Participants will be introduced to strategies for successful career navigation. Loyalist Culinary professor and finalist in the 2008 TVO Best Lecturer Series, John Schneeberger, offers The Art of Baking Bread, a hands-on session on how to make an outstanding loaf of bread.
During the afternoon, Health and Wellness will be presented by Lorri Taylor, a professor in the College’s Health Sciences programs. Participants will explore the Wellness Continuum and identify their own wellness using tools provided by the instructor. Loyalist Professor Mary Jollimore, a sports journalist who has covered the Olympics since 1980, will present The Olympics: The Biggest Show on Earth. She will lead a discussion on what makes the Games the ultimate “reality TV” event.
“We are very pleased to be able to offer these exciting workshops during our Homecoming,” said Ivanka Franjkovic, Alumni & Development Officer. “Participants will be able to explore these topical subjects through lively discussion and practical application led by dynamic and knowledgeable presenters.”
