There are no partridges in pear trees here, but if the “true love” of someone you care for is lifelong learning, we might have just the gift for you to give… to a friend, family member, teacher, colleague, or even yourself!

Lakehead University’s Office of Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning is offering “12 Days (or is it ways?) of Learning.”  For each, you’ll receive a unique experience.  Some of these will be paired with additional materials that can be mailed to you, but all come with a special gift certificate to print and plenty of instructions about how to connect with the upcoming event!

January and February have the potential to be a bit isolating this year, so why not give the gift of learning and enable a sense of community that will last into the new year and beyond.  There’s something for everyone on your list, and you might even join someone in learning something new.

Almost all sessions involve components using the Zoom platform. Not familiar with Zoom?  No problem.  Our team will reach out to provide support as needed prior to these events. All you need to do is email cell@lakeheadu.ca to make arrangements!

All sessions will also be recorded for those unable to attend in real time.

Sign up now to make sure you get your gift certificates via email before the holidays.  Materials will be available for pick up (Orillia or Thunder Bay) or delivery (across Canada) very early in the new year.

Seen as the "opening day of the giving season," Giving Tuesday is when charities, companies and individuals join together to share their commitment, rally for their favourite causes, and think about others.  

This year's goal is to raise $52,500 in support of student scholarships, bursaries and awards.  As in years past, donors will be able to double their gift, as donations will be matched 1:1, up to the first $25,000 received.  

Since 2016, more than $326,000 has been raised through Lakehead's Giving Tuesday efforts.

Alumni and friends all over the globe are encouraged to give what they can on Giving Tuesday.  You may visit the Giving Tuesday portal beginning at 12:01 a.m. on November 30th, until midnight.
