What does learning look like at an Age-Friendly University? A panel discussion

Have you ever wondered if people of all ages can enroll in university courses and fully participate in campus life? As an Age-Friendly University (AFU), UBCO welcomes learners of all ages and actively seeks to challenge the idea that higher education is only for younger adults.

This panel will explore “What can UBCO offer you?” whether you’re a student, an older adult, or represent a community organization. UBCO is proud to be part of the Global AFU Network, and we’re committed to fostering inclusivity in learning.

Jon Corbett, PhD, MSc
Professor, Department Head, Community, Culture and Global Studies, Irving K Barber Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

• will discuss how UBCO and community organizations can engage collaboratively.

Garry McCracken, MSc (HES), MPl, BEng, CD

• will reflect on his journey as a lifelong learner and offer his perspective on being an older adult who returned to university to pursue graduate studies.
