* In light of the current surge in COVID cases in our area, we have decided to shift the course to a virtual format. The content, speakers, and behind the scenes components will stay the same, but the weekly classes will take place via a secure Zoom meeting. We will still meet in person for the field component at the end of the course. We had a very successful virtual course last semester and had the added bonus of meeting lifelong learners from around the country who were able to join via the virtual platform.
Each class will offer an optional “Active Learning” component from 12 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. where participants will participate in hands-on learning activities related to the day’s topic.
