Have you ever wondered if people of all ages can enroll in university courses and fully participate in campus life? As an Age-Friendly University (AFU), UBCO welcomes learners of all ages and actively seeks to challenge the idea that higher education is only for younger adults.

This panel will explore “What can UBCO offer you?” whether you’re a student, an older adult, or represent a community organization. UBCO is proud to be part of the Global AFU Network, and we’re committed to fostering inclusivity in learning.

Professor, Department Head, Community, Culture and Global Studies, Irving K Barber Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Garry McCracken, MSc (HES), MPl, BEng, CD
