51视频 faculty will 鈥渙pen鈥� their classes to staff members from February 25鈥揗arch 1, as part of 鈥淥pen Class Week,鈥� a new initiative that allows interested staff to sit in on a class and learn more about a topic. Employees will also gain a sense of what students experience when taking a 51视频 course and what faculty experience when teaching one. Staff members are invited to visit the Google document for a full listing of courses available: and to fill in their name on one of the five available spaces for each course they are interested in. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Course descriptions can be found through 51视频鈥檚 academic calendar: Class attendance for staff members is free and no course preparation is required. The deadline to sign up for course dates is Thursday, February 21. Employees will be sent an email by the Faculty Development Office to confirm their class, time, and location. While senior management has been notified and fully support 鈥淥pen Class Week,鈥� it is highly recommended that employees advise their supervisors to prevent any scheduling concerns in their departments. For further information, please contact Gerald Wandio at the Faculty Development Office at gwandio@upei.ca.
