The course details are as follows:

• Dates: October 7 to December 2, 2024
• Time commitment: Approximately 1.5 hours per week for eight weeks.
• Professors (full-time, partial load and part-time), librarians, counsellors, and staff are all welcome to participate.

To enrol, please complete our online request form. Deadline to enrol is October 6, 2024. For all other inquiries, please contact danielle.jeancart@humber.ca.
