The seasons have changed and for those of us in the northern hemisphere we tend to spend more time at our computers working on our courses and searching for information about our ancestors. We hope you can set aside some time to attend a virtual meeting that is applicable to your studies and/or research. Below is the virtual meeting the line up for the month of October.

Remember, these Virtual Meetings are NOT mandatory. They are a fun and interactive way for our students to have an opportunity to ask our instructors and fellow students questions about the courses and/or research at a relevant session.
