The interactive Moving Forward webinar series is a part of a growing effort to bring the unique voices of Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS) alumni to comment on important topics.

Launched in September 2020, Moving Forward invites students, alumni, faculty, staff and others into meaningful conversations about how to move forward in uncertain times like the ongoing pandemic. Moving Forward has resonated strongly with the University community, drawing hundreds of participants each academic year. A Moving Forward Youtube playlist is also available.

This winter LA&PS is offering two Moving Forward episodes examining the following topics (registration links below):
