(thunder bay, october 23, 2003) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's faculty of education has officially opened the department of lifelong learning.

"this unique department offers learning experiences through alternative programming and customized quality-added learning packages to meet the needs of our clientele," says dr. tom puk, chair of the department of lifelong learning. "in the department of lifelong learning, teaching and learning are viewed as generic processes that can be found in many contexts beyond the publicly funded classroom. teaching and learning are a part of everyday life as we strive to create a learning society whereby the lives of all members of the community are enriched."

four divisions comprise the department: professional development; native language education; alternative and innovative enterprises; and public knowledge transformation. the department will offer alternative programs that focus on health, finances, education, leadership, environment and recreation. these sectors of lifelong learning are of critical importance to people as they move from one phase of life to another, from birth to death. enriching public knowledge will result in capacity building within society by empowering individuals and groups. the lifelong learning programs will help to build a learning community within the local, provincial, national and international communities.

"we are delighted to see the opening of the department of lifelong learning," says dr. julia o'sullivan, dean, faculty of education. "the innovative programs in the department open the doors of the university to people of all ages and walks of life."
