Wishing a safe and happy Halloween to Acadia students, alumni, faculty, staff, and 🎃

Today was the first day of classes of 2020-2021, and we're grateful to everyone in the Acadia community who has made it possible–including students following our COVID-19 protocols to keep our community safe–and all the faculty members who have been working with our Learning Technologies & Instructional Design team!

The pandemic has made it very difficult to safely offer summer camps, so our friends at WISE Acadia are thinking outside the box...well, not exactly. They're putting camp in a box with a kit of STEAM activities for girls entering grades 6-8 that will be delivered locally!

WISE in a box!

Very excited to launch a new course just for Acadia University faculty: "Adapting Your Course for Remote Delivery"

Introduction by OA Director Dr. Jeffrey Banks:

Adapting Your Course for Remote Delivery This is the Introduction for an Online Professional Development course we have developed for Acadia Faculty.

We very much appreciate your patience and understanding as events and classes have been disrupted, including our ALL: Acadia Lifelong Learning programming.

Many thanks to Acadia University Library and Technology Services for helping our Learning Technologies & Instructional Design team work on solutions for faculty and students!

In this Friday's Lunchtime Learning Series session, we welcome back retired professor of Comparative Religion Bruce Matthews. Bruce has an interest in historical civilizations and religions and their continuing impact on the contemporary world, and he'll share photos and commentary from a recent expedition to the "Forest of Kings" with his wife Pam.

The Mayans of Central America left behind many magnificent ruins, testimony to a great civilization that lasted 1000 years. Some of the best examples are along the border of Mexico and Guatemala (called ‘A Forest of Kings’ by archaeologists). Many are not easy to get to. They include such sites as Palenque, Yaxchilán and Bonampak in Chiapas, Tikal and Calakmul in the central zone, and Dzibanché and Kohunlich in the eastern Rió Bec.

ALL: Acadia Lifelong Learning's Lunchtime Learning Series is back for the 2019-2020 year. In our first presentation of the autumn, Acadia's Lisa Speigel will discuss common cybersecurity threats to everyday people, and how we can help protect ourselves.

Join us this Friday, October 4 for our first Lunchtime Learning Series session of 2019-2020!
