Campus Engagement Series
Open to everyone in the WJC Community, the Campus Engagement Series is a collection of on-campus educational activities, led by WJC faculty members. The series features a wide range of fascinating presentations, on subjects topical, practical, academic, and just for fun. In addition to the valuable educational content of these activities, the series provides a great opportunity to return to campus and engage in-person with WJC community members in a safe and heathy environment.
All fall 2020 educational activities will be held on Mondays and Thursdays, from 5:30 to 6:50 pm, in Room 227/228, on the dates listed below.
In adherence with College safety guidelines, all attendees and presenters are required to wear face coverings and observe proper physical distancing while in the building. Attendance for all activities is capped at 18 individuals, and the classrooms have been set up to ensure appropriate physical distancing during the events. All attendees and presenters must also vacate the building by 7:00pm, in accordance with new building hours.
Detailed descriptions of the educational activities can be found in the College’s What’s Up Monday weekly newsletter.
