Lifelong Learning offers a wide range of workshops in conjunction with the College of Education, Health, and Human Services.
A workshop is a credit or noncredit activity that focuses on a participant's professional tasks. Instructional emphasis is given to mastery and applications of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that address a narrowly defined range of problems or issues related to practice.
