Weekly Message from the Chair - September 8, 2017

Hello everyone, and congratulations on completing the first week of classes. If you're like me, you're pretty tired, but I hope you've had a good week of learning, and meeting new people and returning friends.

As I mentioned at Orientation, I'll send out a message once a week, usually including an audio or video component. This week's message offers words of wisdom for those who are writing the Math exam. Here is a link to the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BAzBnAix7RE
I invite each cohort to send me the name of your representative so that we can schedule our first monthly meeting.

I also have a message to each of you individually, to come and see me if you have any questions or concerns about your experience here at Lakehead.

Here is the link to my Facebook page, "My Teaching Journey." Please feel free to join the group! It's a good place for information and advice from graduates of our program:

Have a great weekend, and we'll see you on Monday!
