Our SCWI/IJECT Symposium 2024 Building on Success! Miser sur la réussite! was another resounding success! We welcomed over 340 participants on May 14th at Humber College as well as online.
On behalf of SCWI and the Symposium Planning Committee thank you to all who contributed in making our hybrid Symposium a great success.
Our keynote speaker, Curtis Carmichael, spoke about Building on Student Success: Reigniting Passion and Building Inclusive Communities. During his presentation, Curtis Carmichael encouraged participants to reflect on their teaching practice to better equip all students for the future of work. He highlighted the importance of adopting culturally-relevant, asset-based strategies as well as using curriculum resources promoting mental health, equity and a growth mindset. Curtis Carmichael’s message resonated with participants as reflected in the many comments we heard post-symposium.
Special thanks to all the presenters, facilitators, technical supporters, caterers, student guides and, more particularly the attendees, for helping to make the 2024 Spring Symposium a very valuable experience!
Please take this opportunity to mark your calendars for next year. We will be hosting our 2025 Spring Symposium on May 13, 2025. Plan to attend.
