Lifelong Learning Centre courses have limited space so please register early! What our students say About us! “Last spring we took Middle East Current Affairs taught by retired professor Dr. Cleveland. We enjoyed the course thoroughly as well as his format. In the Fall, my wife and I enrolled in Introduction to Spanish. We also took a shorter course on World Religions. All of these courses challenged “our grey matter”, so that is good. Looking through the various course outlines, you will notice there is a wide range of courses offered. Interaction with your classmates is encouraged and the instructors encourage a fair amount of class discussion“ - Doug Calder “I enrolled in craft beer appreciation and was happy that I did. The instructor

was very knowledgeable. He organized the class well, provided an overview of the types of beers to be sampled later, facilitated tours of Regina craft breweries where the samples were tasted, and led good class discussions. His relaxed and informal presentations facilitated class discussion. While able to provide technical answers to demanding questions from more knowledgeable students, I found that he presented information in a manner that enabled all to enjoy. “ - Mike Balfour
