ALGC Students on Campus

In July 2008, several members of the 2006 Cohort of the Adult Learning for Global Change (ALGC) program had the opportunity to meet face to face. The occasion was a course on Lifelong Learning, taught by Dr. Kjell Rubenson on the UBC Vancouver campus. The seminar gave us an opportunity to connect on a more personal level with the program, the participants, and the university. We also had a chance to hear presentations by researchers in addition to Dr. Rubenson such as Dr. Tara Fenwick (now at the University of Stirling, UK) and Dr. Garnet Grosjean (UBC) on current learning projects at both local (provincial) and international scales. Pictured in the photograph, L. to R: Jackie Regan (Windsor, ON), Rowena delRosario (Edmonton, Alberta), Vivian Hermansen (Campbell River, BC) and Fereshteh Dastani (Shanghai, China). The ALGC program was an important rung in our lifelong learning “ladder”—and these interpersonal connections will never disappear.
