The MWC Presents Nature Conversation Circles in the Arboretum

Once again, the Math & Writing Centre in collaboration with the Centre for Urban Ecology is pleased to present Nature Conversation Circles in the Arboretum (just behind the North Campus residence building).

Please share the attached poster with students and let them know that this is a wonderful opportunity to learn and be engaged in a natural setting.

This service invites Humber and Guelph-Humber students to join a Math & Writing Centre tutor and Arboretum staff to learn about the natural world and practice speaking on nature topics, including:

  • Plants
  • Animals
  • Nature
  • Environment
  • Sustainability

We also tie the conversation topics to specific themes based on the date of the event. 

Here are the times and themes for the sessions this Fall:

  • Friday, September 27 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. - National Tree Day
  • Thursday, October 10 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. – Thanksgiving
  • Thursday, October 31 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. - Halloween
  • Wednesday, November 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. – World Kindness Day
  • Thursday, November 21 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. – Celebrating Canines

To reserve a spot in one of the sessions, students will need to fill out the online form.

To join the session, students should arrive at the North Campus Math & Writing Centre at least 30 minutes before the session (LRC third floor, 12:30 p.m.) or go directly to the Arboretum Centre for Urban Ecology (the glass building with the red door).
